A member asked:
One of your docs said height growth after 30 is likely caused by unusual delay in bone closure. what would cause a female's bones to not close by 36?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual: It is extremely uncommon for height growth to occur after age 18-25 and if you were growing someone should have noticed this. You need to have your doctor (who appears to have missed the boat) refer you to an Orthopedic surgeon!
