HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
At age 20, it is unlikely that you would be able to grow any further.
During childhood and adolescence, there is an area at the end of the long bones (bones in the arm and lower limbs) that is involved in adding new bone.
At the end of adolescence this area changes and no further growth is possible no matter what medication is taken.
Medication would need to be used before this change occurs.
Unfortunately this means that at age 20, you are unlikely to grow any further.
I hope this helps
