Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i am a freshman in highschool and only 5 6 . my docter told me that since i havent grown in the past year, i am done growing. he then scanned my hand with something and told my my growth plates were closed. however, when i was about six years old i fell off a chairlift and shattered the bones in my hands along with a lot of other injuries. so i just want to know if its possible that my docter might be wrong? and if not, is there ANYTHING that i can do to grow taller?
As your age is not mentioned in the narration exact advice regarding whether yor height will increase or not can not be given. If your age has already crossed 18 to 20 year there are no chances of increase in your height. If it is less than that then you can attempt of increasing height by stretching exercises such as jumping & hanging to the bars along with good nutrition rich in proteins & vitamines.
But as your doctor has scanned your bone & he is sure that your growth plates are closed there are no chances of increase in your height.
Now what you can do is accept the reality & in view to increase your height apparently you can use the footwares with high heels.
