Are the doctors able to tell if you are going to grow anymore? Like is there a test or an xray or something, sorry if that sounds dumb. Im 17 and im about 5'4 and 112lbs and i havent grown in years. I feel like i should have another growth spurt in the next year or 2 and get to atleast 5'7 but idk.

Chances are you're pretty close to being done with growing. An X-ray can tell if the growth plates at the ends of the bones have hardened. If the haven't then you may still grow.

since I turned 18 I gained about 6 inches and 70 lbs.
I wrestled 89 and under my senior year, Im now 5'11" and hovering at about 157 lbs but have been as high as 169 I was maybe 5 5 when I got out of school.
everyone is different, noone knows for cetrtain when you grow and when ya stop, my feet have been teh same size though since freshman year, 10 1/2, it used to look like I was a letter L as a skinny kid.

Thats a pretty big gain. Its good to know that its possible to shoot up like that after highschool. I feel like i have more growing to do, i always doubted it when i was younger but now its just like a gut feeling that i will atleast gain 2 or 3 more inches. But i guess only time will tell, thx!
