I'm a 16y/o boy who is 5'1. i am scared about my height because of prednisone use at age 12-14. my bone age is 15. will i grow any more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should grow more: Most with a bone maturity of 15 y have at least an inch or two more they will grow. I wouldn't expect six, but you should get some.Expected genetic height ( without prednisone effect) would be the average of your parents plus 2.5 inches +/-.
