No pills. No excercises. You are 22yrs.Nothing works. Only a surgery can be done but frankly it's not indicated in you as you are 5.7".
Next Steps
Accept your height. Avoid surgery as every surgery has its fair share of complications.
Health Tips
You still need any further consultation or want to discuss any issues then get in touch.
