Where did you get this specific term dowager's hump. It is specific to couple of orthopaedic conditions. Probably you have googled it. Please do not do Google doctoring bcoz heard of incidents where people become Google doctoring which is pathetic and ended up into bad circumstances. Please meet an orthopaedician and sort out your problem plz. However at your age group you won't gain height until the conditions are irreversible
