A member asked:
If all growth plates in long bones are closed, can your spine still grow? will testosterone lengthen the spine if it can grow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not: Your stated age of 19 would suggest that your growth in height is complete. There may be open growth plates yet but these do not contribute to height.
