Some basics: Early identification & treatment of HGH deficiency has been a standard of care for decades, aided by advances that produced a synthetic form. Typical treatments would continue until the bone growth stopped with fusion of growth centers. Benefits for later use are considered on a case by case basis. I would review your concerns with your doc & consider consulting an endocrinologist for your options
