Still Growing? Posted: 05-24-06 15:44pm


I wasn't sure where to put this, so I figured here would work. Is it unusual to continue to grow as an adult? I was at the doctor's office yesterday and they took my height - I didn't know at the time that the height was more than I thought, since they did it in cms. Anyway, for the past 10 yeras I have been about an 8th of an inch short of 6 ft, and now it turns out that I am 6'1". I told my mother that by the time that I finish growing i'm going to be 6'5"!!! Is this usual to continue to grow as an adult - should I be concerned about this at all? Is it worth mentioning to my doctor, or shoudl I just assume that my previous measurement was wrong. I'm 29 btw, and was sure that I had stopped growing at the age of 16.
