I'm 24 years old and my height is 5.7. I'm really curious to know if it's still possible for me to grow taller at this age. If there's a way to increase my height, could you please explain how it might be possible?

Question

I'm looking for a doctor who can help me with the complications I've been facing due to using anabolic steroids. I also need guidance on how to manage things during and after my steroid cycles. Can someone with experience in these areas provide some advice? I'm really quite concerned about this and just want to make sure I'm handling everything properly.

Question

I'm a bit concerned after reading my report that suggests I have thyronormalcy. Does this mean I might be showing signs of thyroid issues? I've noticed my blood sugar levels dropping to around 75 sometimes, and I've been getting dents in my right leg. Plus, my vision gets blurry at times. Could these things be related? Should I be worried about any of this?

Question

I'm 17 and I've been worrying about my height lately. I'm around 5 feet 9 inches, but all my friends seem taller, like around 5ft 10 to 6ft. I kinda stopped getting taller when I was 14. I do lift weights, though nothing too intense. Is there anything I could do to possibly grow a couple more inches? I'd love to hit around 5 feet 11 or even 6 feet. Any advice would be great.
