I am on the stage 4.2 on the tanner calculator. How much do you expect me to grow at this point? I am 5'1" tall, my endrocrinologist said that I was pretty much done growing but I hope I could still reach 5'4", at least 5'3".

You might grow 1" but anything more would be nothing short of a miracle.

Probably 1-2 inches more.

I'm also a 4.2 and I'm around 5'3-4 but hope I reach at least 5'5-6 by the time of surgery.

By your wingspan I guess it would be possiblefor you to easily reach 166.

I hope so, also I read from a post that you had a knee X-ray to see if your plates we're open/closed. I was wondering if you remember how much the cost was ?

When I did it, it was about $150.

Did insurance cover any of it ? Also do you know how accurate an X-ray can depict growth plate closure? Was your doctor able to tell right on the spot ?

He got back to me in about a week, and insurance did not cover it. The x rays are pretty accurate.

The growth plates on the knee are very accurate. Supposedly I am done growing FROM my legs so the majority of my growth is done by now. Now, not all of the bones fuse at the same time and my knee plates barely fused some months ago. The spine plates are the last to fuse so far I know. Now, there is not so much growth left at this point and supposedly you only grow like 1-3 inches if much. I hope I can manage to grow 2 inches more but I haven't grown at all since I was 12 so...

3" is a lot to grow my friend. 1" isn't out of the question.

LittleWhiteMan · « **Reply #11 on:** December 28, 2014, 08:22:30 AM »

I listed 3" because some do actually grow that much, but it all depends on your luck/genes.

Ajax2thousand20 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 28, 2014, 07:36:39 PM »

Seeing that you haven't grown since you were 12, I wouldnt get my hopes up. But you never know, I say consider ll when your 18 and you haven't grown.

How tall were your parents?

LittleWhiteMan · « **Reply #14 on:** December 29, 2014, 05:56:34 AM »

My father is 5'6", my mother is 4'10"... yet when I recall my mother that it is all her fault she acts like if she has nothing to do... WELL THEN WHEN THE fk DID I END UP BEING 5'1"??!? NOT EVEN 5'4" OR 5'5" I AM BARELY 5'1"! It surprises me because I have a friend whose mother is shorter than mine and he is like 5'5" (we have the same age). His father was probably around 5'6"-5'8" as well.

Well, the good thing is that you can grow a good 14 cm with lengthening.

ita genetics's fault, unless u handr proper sleep or nutrition due o your mom then its her fault, but if none of these occurred then its no ones fault, but u said u were smoking since 12/13

At least he was born into the age of nano technologies and accelerating medical discoveries. It's very possible that we could have therapies to make him far taller than ll ever could in the near future.

Smoking since 12/13? WTF? I barely started smoking this year when I realized that I "virtually" stopped growing (again let's hope for that good spine spurt).

I know I can lengthen like 14 cm withh LL but now my main concern is proportions, I rather be short and seem aesthetic (from an angle...) than being a long-legged monster. I am trying to seek for an LL alternative involving the spine for now, or at least a last growth spurt on my spine. It seems that most of you guys who are relatively short have long torsos for their height. In my case my upper and lower bodies are almost about the same lengths so I hope this changes quick.

Let us know if you ever discover a legitimate and safe spine lengthening technique. I'm sure many of us would be interested.
