it's not so easy it has too many complications and post operative period is not so smooth...height depends on average height of your parents... if your parents are short then nothing can be done...take nutritious food ,protein rich food like chicken ,fish , pulses ,egg ,milk ,butter. Do Stretching exercises in early morning like skipping, cycling, swimming helps you a lot...Exercise at least five times per week. By using exercises that help with gaining height, you will naturally increase the level of growth hormones in your body. Certain weight training exercises, high intensity sprints and bar hanging can help you achieve this. you must strengthen your abdominal and back muscles first to get the most out of your exercises.

Can shoulder dislocation be treated without surgery What are the best non-surgical options for fixing a dislocated shoulder I'm really worried about needing surgery and want to know if there's another way to heal properly
Yes, shoulder dislocations can often be treated without surgery, especially for the first time or less severe dislocations. The most common non-surgical approach is closed reduction, where a doctor manually repositions the shoulder joint back into place. Following this, immobilization with a sling and physical therapy are key to recovery

I was in an accident a couple weeks back and got some injuries on my elbow, forearm, and knee. Initially, my knee swelled up, not exactly where the injury was, but close by. All the injuries have healed now, but there's still swelling in that spot. I'm concerned whether it's just swelling or maybe some blood clotting. I couldn't bend my knee before, but now I can, although there's still some pain where the swelling is. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?
It sounds like the swelling near your knee could be due to a soft tissue injury or internal bruising, which can sometimes take longer to heal. Since you can now bend your knee, that's a positive sign, but the pain and swelling might take a little more time to subside. I recommend applying ice and elevating the knee, and if the pain persists or worsens, consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and possible imaging.
