I'm an 18 year old boy. I want to grow taller. I never grew since 2 or 3 years maybe. I'm very anxious that whether my can grow my height or not. I would need at least 2 inches more to my height. There's a limb Lengthening surgery (llazarov something like that) but it's too risky. I'm sportsman and I wouldn't compromise on my physical ability. Are there any other options for me to grow my height? Or I am just supposed to be stuck at 56. I'm already half an inch taller than my dad and taller than my big brother and my mother. Please help. I feel so depressed. Please suggest some valid options for gaining height. Stretching and pull ups does not work. I stretch a lot and stretch quite a lot than most of the people. Please help I want to gain my height quickly because maybe later I will not be able to do anything due to my age. Please suggest something. Thank you.
