19 Year Old - Am I Almost Done Growing?


Aug 21, 2013

I am a 19 yr old guy, currently 5'5 1/2" and around 125 lbs (my weight fluctuates about 125-130 these days). I hit puberty around 14, but I have been my current height for 4 years, have weighed between 110-140 in that time, and have not growing at all in height. I currently have a lean 28" waist, 35" hips, 35" chest, and 14" neck. I have a bit of armpit hair, thigh hair, navel hair, and leg hair, but it's somewhat sparse and not really thick yet. I also have the peach fuzz on my face, and it's starting to get darker on my jawline. My Adam's apple is also getting noticeable.

My dad is 5'6" and 200 lbs. He claims that a lot of it is muscle and that he only has "10 pounds of fat on him", but that's a statement more applicable to me; he is quite overweight. He says when he was my age he was 170 lbs and "not fat" -- I know for a fact that I would look really fat at 170 lbs. My appetite was really voracious for a couple years but has slowed down; though I still get days where I can almost clean out an entire refrigerator, they are getting more rare. My sister is 5'7" and 150 lbs, and somewhat chubby. My mother is 5'3" and about my weight.

I still look youngish in the face, though my jaw has become more geometric and square lately. I don't know whether I should "try" to grow by say, working out a lot, sleeping a lot, and drinking lots of milk + excess calories, but I feel like it might not even work. Is it likely my growth is almost done? Can/should I get a bone scan to determine it?

Uterine Fibroids :: Fibroid Keeps Growing And Growing?

My uterine mass/ fibroid seems to keep growing and growing. Is there any medication I can ask my GP to prescribe me to stop it from growing or to shrink it ?

Do I need to see a Consultant Gynaecologist to discuss any kind of medication I could take to try to stop the growth of my uterine mass or to try to shrink it without any kind of surgical procedure in mind, at least for the time being ?

Anxiety Of Growing Up

I am 15 and about to start a new part of my life in 10th grade. When I was younger I went to a small school in a very popular area of South Australia. I had one friend in particular that I have been friends with for over 9 years now. He and I were like 2 peas in a pod for most of our primary days but he moved to a different school then I did after we graduated. Now that I have reached year 10 at a high school college I feel as if I only have 3 more years to live my life easily before I have to get a part time job and go to university. I mainly have anxiety because I recently went on a family holiday with him and we recalled all the things we did when we were younger and one of the most treasured was playing a certain video game with him. We then played this video game once again and so many memories just rushed back to me the more I played. Now all I can think about before I sleep or when I am bored is the anxiety of no re-living these moments that I have clinged onto for so long. I just want to lose my anxiety, has anyone got any ideas or are in the same circumstance as I am?

Carpal Tunnel :: Growing Pains

Anyone having a feeling of growing pains in the arm, like the kind you perhaps had when you were a little kid growing up? I have had it for the last couple of days for some reason. I wouldn't call it muscle soreness after doing physical activities. The arm feel a bit weak.

I have intensified the massage of the forearm and upper arm, since I've found I still have some very tender points on the arms around the elbow, especially the right one then. My shoulder is crunching a lot and not as moveable as I first thought, so I've discovered.

Background history is herniated disc in the neck, broken shoulder, tennis elbow, broken wrist, broken long finger and now then carpal tunnel syndrome and then release in March 2014.  All on my right and dominated side. Maybe this history background facts can affect you when you grow and get older?

Heart Rhythm :: PAC's Growing In Numbers

I recently wore a holter monitor that came back with 92 PAC's over a 24 hour period. I have been having the fluttering feeling we all know and fear more often lately. I have been to 4 different cardiologists over the past 3 years and have had every test under the sun. My question is if my heart is structurally fine, why am I having more palpitations? The most PAC's I ever had on a 24 monitor before this was 10 and I've had many monitors.
Is it factual that stress brings on palpitations?  My cardiologist just tells me not to worry and enjoy life. Easy for him to say. Appreciate any feedback or to hear from people having the same problem.

Orthopedics :: Having Growing Pains In Leg And Calve

I have moderate growing pains in my left leg (front of the calve) and I'm 16. Ever since I can remember myself I've had growing pains just in my legs at the front of my calves but it's mostly in my left leg every now and then, and it usually happens when I stay up late at night. Sometimes it's so bad it wakes me up and I'm crying all night and can't sleep and sometimes i can just wait for an hour or so until it's gone. I checked online and I think I'm too old to be having growing pains and I wanted to check of everything is normal.

Toenail Not Growing Back After Filing It Away

There was a huge loose piece of cuticle on my big toe so I tried to file it away. Not realizing the file was digging into the matrix of my toenail, I soon found out after It grew out a centimeter or so with nothing showing but bare skin... It doesn't hurt, but I'm more concerned as to whether it will grow back... I did this a few weeks back and this is what I'm just now seeing, I don't see any signs of new nail coming out, I guess it takes time to produce, hopeful! I'm keeping it covered and clean to prevent infection. It's not red, swollen, or filled with blood underneath, it's just simply a hole in my toenail! Any advice or answers will be so greatly appreciated! I've attempted to post a link to a picture here, if It doesn't work, just imagine a toe with about half of the nail missing towards the cuticle.

Bone Cancer :: Boney Mass Seems To Be Growing

Last december I noticed a hard, fixed mass in the left side of my neck. After a few visits to my PCM and ENT they attempted to do an ultrasound guided biopsy. The doctor doing it said that he hit what appeared to be a 'bony mass', and could not get sufficient tissue for a biopsy. I was then sent for a CT scan as it appeared that is was slowly growing in size. It appeared to be Exostosis from the proximal end of the left first rib that projects superiorly and slightly anteriorly. I was told that it shouldn't be anything of concern, and I was sent away. Recently I have had issues with pain the the left side of my neck, and I wake at night with numbness in my left arm and hand. It feels as if it has continued to grow in size, and I'm wondering if this is a common issue with Exostosis, or could this in fact be (unlikely I'm sure) a case of Osteosarcoma?

Dermatology :: Growing Mole - Nodular Melanoma?

I'm a 23 year old female with light skin. I have had this mole on my lower back for many years and it has always been slightly raised. Upon examining it recently after not looking at it for many years I feel it might be more raised then it was before. Its about 5-6mm in diameter, does not itch or bleed or anything. I'm not entirely sure if its changed but I think it might have. Is it possible for a mole to grow naturally? Should I be concerned about this, could it be nodular melanoma? I read nodular melanoma occurs in a new skin growth 97% of the time I'm not sure if this was true. I have a picture posted....
