    Default Do you think it is possible to grow taller after 18?

    I am 31 and I swear I am getting bigger . Not just weight gain but I swear I'm taller (I think) and my hands have grown larger. My hipbones have definitely spaced apart. I thought people stopped growing around 18-20 but maybe I'm mistaken on this. What do you think?

    My feet grew bigger around the age of 26ish, so I dont see why other parts cant grow too, even if it is unusual.

    It's weird. In the last 2 years, I have just become larger over all and it's not fat. My shoes are tight , my pants are short....spooky. I hope it's not some awful disorder.

    Measure yourself???

    I think it is possible, just highly unlikely. I saw a program on tlc about a woman like this, she had a type of cancer.... so a checkup might be a good thing....

    Your hips can get wider because your sachral bone, which actually starts out as several smaller bones begins to fuse. It can continue doing this and most often doesn't completely fuse untill you are in your 60's. Most females other bones grow untill they are about 25-26ish, but that doesn't usually include hieght. Maybe your posture has improved somewhat??? I got this info from my anatomy book a while back, and I've sold it back to the store, so I can't check it, but this is what I remember.

    no. you're not getting taller. The denim faries are hemming your pants while you sleep.

    I'll actually try to be helpful to the OP, unlike certain other people in this thread.

    According to medical literature on the Internet, there are cases of delayed puberty where a person can continue growing until age 22.
    A pituitary gland tumor can also cause unexpected growth.

    (In your case, it sounds like you are genetically predisposed to be muscular & you lost your baby fat.)

    Wow what's with all the hate in this thread? I think it's possible, but probably not very common. Have you been doing yoga? My bf's brother grew about an inch and 1/2 when his posture improved from doing yoga. If it continues or it worries you, see a dr. though.
    I believe you Dottie and you have my support

    Also eating better for a few years can cause overall growth...I used to be about 105 pounds & very tiny because I was too busy for square meals & now I'm heavier but look the same. Same height though.

    I know that madmaxine is correct about the pituary gland tumor, that is what is wrong with the world's tallest woman.

    But I doubt that such is the issue here!

    I think feet can spread with age and I know that a person's nose and ears never stop growing. I don't think a person can really get taller (barring and hormonal/glandular issue) after a certain age.

    Yeah same goes for me, yoga is incredible for posture, and my family/friends DID notice a height difference, about the same as your bf's bro's about a year after doing yoga. It helps with dance too of course...

    I grew up until I was twenty/ twenty one, but hormones were holding me back in strange ways. But if you're thirty-one, that's something else, I would think. A blood test is often a good idea for spooky stuff, and a check up.

    I'm 35 and about 2 or 3 years ago I noticed that I am now .5-1 inch taller. Also, my feet have gotten a half size bigger. Strange, but true. hth

    I just had an extensive physical and I'm completely healthy. I feel fine. I'm just larger it seems. Odd.

    My mom used to tell me about clothing fairles (she called them twirly skirt fairies) whenever I grew noticibly as a small child. it was cute, and it made me laugh. I kept one in a jar, in fact.

    I just thought it was a cute memory the thread brought up, so I mentioned it
