I think I'm hitting a growth spurt

I think I'm hitting a growth spurt
I just turned 18 last month and I was 5'4.5 inches tall, but after winter I have had terrible hunger, sleepy 24/7 and having bad back pains and discomfort in my legs. Well I've been eating a lot, sleeping, and exercising every day. Haven't gained any weight, but yesterday I was measure at almost 5'5.5 inches, I've grown mostly a full inch. Am I having growing pains and am I hitting a growth spurt? Don't ever remember being like this since I was 12-13

Eat an extra 500 calories a day and see.

Growth plates close at 18..

Good luck manlet.

TFW the train has taken off without me

This is wrong though

Thats what we learn in medical school.

They don't finish until around 25, and growth can occur until then, depending on the person of course.

Any evidence, my textbooks suggest 17-18 they close in the knees.

You grow till your 21-25 your body does not know your age it has no age limit to growth. Dennis Rodman graduated at 5'6 in high school and now he's 6'8. Buddy of mine also graduated at 5'4 and now he's 6'3. I grew 2 inches after I graduated and I'm 6'1

wtf r u talking about. some people dont even hit their puberty growth spurt til 16-17 and dont finish growing til 24-25, like me. I was 5'3 when I was 16 (felt bad man) then grew 8 inches in 8 months (felt painful man), and then slowly grew about 2 more inches over the next 2 years, and now im 6'1.
