Any chance of adding couple inches of height at my age(41)? heard that bones in some people (rare) don't close & they can still grow more. is it true?

No: Once the growth plates fuse in your late teens to early twenties, growth in skeletal height stops. Focus on a good healthy life style and enjoy your good health. Good health is worth far more than an increase in height could ever be. :-)
