Mr. Lybrate-user, in your case, what doctors said is absolutely correct. Ht is basically depends on genes from parental background.& growth also will be till 20-21 years only. After that mostly once the calcification over, there is no possibility for growth of bones. Try doing long jump, foot ball, basket ball, few exercises under any expert,& taking good proetinaceous diet, d. Calcium rich food. By doing all, there may be chances for further growth, but not sure& 6 ft is not possible. My strong suggestion is do not try to take any medications for growth of ht, especially seen in advertisements.
