I'm a 22-year-old girl and I'm really concerned about my height. Is it still possible for me to grow taller at this age? Can you give me some advice or tips on what I might be able to do?

Increasing height at the age of 22 is difficult as the growth plates in your bones have likely fused. However, you can still improve your posture and overall bone health. You can take supplements like Shelcal HD (Calcium and Vitamin D) to support bone health. Additionally, regular exercise and a balanced diet rich in proteins and vitamins can help maintain overall health.

I've noticed my neck has been getting bigger over the past two weeks. It's not affecting my breathing or swallowing, but it is noticeable, and my family can see it too. I'm worried it might be something like a thyroid issue or a goiter since thats what my quick internet search suggested. Is there anything specific I should do, or is it okay if I send a picture for a closer look?
