    No your bone will grow back just has large as it was previously. It would just be longer. They said the only way to make it proportional though would be to do it to your lower and upper legs and your lower and upper arms. That's way too much bone cracking for me.

    This is true but still amazing how such small guys could hang with everyone 6'10 and above. Even today one of the top scorers in the league is Alan Iverson and he is barley 6'0.

    I'm not that tall, however height can be a disadvantage in many things, even basketball at times ;)

    5'5 here. No need to worry at all. Being tall is not that big a deal. The greatest emperor of 'em all - Napoleon Bonaparte was a short man. In fact, very short. Only about 5'2. Just chill. :)

    Same here dotcompals. I am also 5 feet and 11 inch.

    Height is not only to consider alone but with weight too IMO.

    DON.

    My height is 5'10" and I think thats normal. I had read some health books before. According to that health books If you are less then 21 years old then you will try some exercises to gain 2 to 3 inches

    i saw on a news that on china, they used a grain of a corn and put it on their toes by taping it or something. it was believed that the big toe is somewhat connected the the pituitary gland and it somehow affects the height...

    STOP DWELLING ON YOUR HEIGHT gerwinjz76. It's really irrelevent to your self-worth. As a kid I was a runt, and as a teen-ager finally reached 5'6". What took me forever to learn is that being tall or short has nothing to do with who you are.

    There are many famous and successful people of both genders who are short, even in the U.S. where there's a bias in favor of taller people. We shorties just have to work a little bit harder and project a self-confident image of ourselves.

    Click here for a laundry list of just a few famous short people: and don't forget Carlos Romulo and President Arroyo,
