Height/Growth Problems

2017-08-13 16:02:37
Doctor, I am currently grappling with height problems, because for the past 4 years my height has been 5ft, and I'm 16 years old. I am pretty sure that my growth was stunted because of anorexia that I went through in 2015-2016. I tried lots of methods, such as height increase pills (no hormones), stretching, etc. Nothing helped. What should I do?
