A member asked:
Aside from acromegaly what other conditions would cause 32 yo woman to grow signif taller?went thru puberty yrs ago, stopped growing around 22 til now

Not: generally considered possible. BUT, you know your clothes. What comes to mind isn't growth, since the leg bones irreversibly mature but change in shape: better posture, change in scoliosis, change in angle of leg in hip. You'll want to see an ortho or rheumatologist about this.
