I'm dealing with a bit of an issue with my finger after catching a cricket ball. My x-ray came back normal, but there's still a little pain. I also feel some movement in the proximal phalange when I press on the joint. Should I be worried about this, or will it heal on its own? Any idea how long it might take to recover?

View allI'm only 52 inches tall and feel really frustrated because everyone in my family is taller than me, even my siblings. I have bow legs (genu varum) which makes me look even shorter. Are there any treatments like growth hormones or surgery that could help me grow taller? How much would they cost? I'm struggling with this so much that it's affecting my mental health who should I consult for help?
At 52 inches with genu varum, limb lengthening or correction can help—consult ortho/plastic surgeon.
