I'm a 22 year old girl, is it still possible that i grow taller?

Depends: Linear growth relies on growth centers in the bone that are open to new growth.The changes of puberty both accelerate growth and influence those centers to finish and close. Women usually gain another 2-3 inches after their first menses before stopping. Most stop by 17-18. An x-ray of the wrist/hand can be studied for open growth centers. If open, more growth is possible, if closed, it is finished
