It is very unlikely that any growth in height is possible at your age. There are no magic medicines to increase height, please don't fall in trap of some ads. You may cause more damage to your body than good. You can increase your muscle bulk and stamina however by doing regular exercises, joining gym, sports, balanced diet, high in protein without supplements. Keep patience as it takes time, but you will reach there with time and dedication.
Next Steps
consult orthopedician if pain persists, take xray ankle ap lateral, foot ap oblique views
