I'm 5.3 and 26 i want to get taller, will hormone injections work? any side affects?

No: Your growth plates have closed so no chance of adding an inch to your height. I would strongly recommend against experimenting with hormones or other potentially hazardous "treatments".

You cannot get: taller once your bone growth centers have closed. This usually occurs by about age 18. Injections will not work at age 26. Hope this helps.

Your growth plates: are closed and you will not grow any more and nothing will change this.

Too late, sorry!: You're 26. Even taking growth hormone which I don't recommend, will not make you taller! The bone length has been predetermined by genetics and maybe environmental factors.
