A member asked:
What pituitary issues, other than acromegaly, would cause height increase in 37 yo? no other symps but dizzy & tingling that neuro says from hern disk

Nothing: other than acromegaly could cause height increase in a 37 y.o. female. Your bones should have been LONG since fused. TIngling in extremities could be caused by that as well. You should probably get a second opinion. This is not to say you couldn't ALSO have a herniated disk! Good luck!
