if you recently got a x-ray of that left hand and that shit is fused it's probably not 100% over height-wise.

most people on here incorrectly call the plates closed and i've even seen people have the doctor make the wrong-call. so just double check to see if there's any possible remaining growth shown there.

the left hand is not the actual place where height growth really happens. it's just the agreed upon indicator for height. it's actually the
  • Femur: The thigh bone provides the largest contribution to leg length.
  • Tibia and Fibula: The shin bones determine lower leg extension.
  • Vertebrae: The bones in your spine determine your torso length.
if your left hand is still fully closed it doesn't confirm 100% the rest are, although it's highly likely.

The vertebrae (spine) and clavicle (collarbone) are the absolute last bones to fuse and can sometimes remain active into your early 20s. Growth here will not give you longer legs, but it can occasionally add a fraction of an inch to your sitting torso height. So if you run a height stack if your spine bones are still active which they likely are because they can remain so into your early 20's and some part of your body that the left-hand scan didn't show (like femur, tibia and fibula) you could actually still grow 0.5-2 inches (absolute max) if your lucky.
 
I've been seeing more and more people say this, which is major major major lifefuel.

Sadly though the pediatric websites from a basic google search usually still say that growth sites close around the same time :feelswah::feelswah::feelswah::feelswah::feelswah:

I've sort of been using this idea to drown myself in cope.

yeah the left hand scan is a major indicator for the rest but it doesn't confirm it. ESPECIALLY spine activity which like i said earlier could last until early 20's. even then spinal decompression and posture could be good for you. just try some height pharma for 6 months and see if it does anything. if not do the posture and other shit, heelsmashing etc for height.

Yeah, I'll just have to continue coping with growth left in the spine...
