    Question about height??

    Question about height??

    Is it possible to find out if there is any growing left in you? Like a bone test or something. I heard like the bones in hands and feet must join when you stop growing.

    Anyone know anything about this and how much it would cost??

    I am not sure but I think the doctors can determine something from the growth plates in your legs. They told me a while ago that I would probably stop growing, and they were unfortunately right. So ask your doctor about it.

      all i know is if you're past your early 20's, then it's most likely you won't grow anymore.

        Yes you can go get an xray and the doctor will tell you if you have any epiphyseal plate left in your bones.

        Just not sure if you want to expose yourself to xray just to find out if you will grow more.

          Some men keep on growing until they are about 30 years old. James Braddock, the Cinderella Man, is a case in point. You will often see his height listed at various numbers somewhere between 5'11" and 6'3." As it happens he was growing steadily through out his career.

            The reason I want to find out if there is any growing left in me is because I want to start gym and feat that gym may stunt my growth.

            Anywayz what potential threat would one X-ray could have on my health?

              Well you get hit with a good doze of radiation when you get an xray.

              There is a certain limit on how many xrays you can do in a given span of time...

              I guess you can do it, but radition is never recomended.
