Generally men stop growing at the age of 18, so you very well could be in the final stage of a growth spurt. This is probably the last you will experience. Although, if this continues i would go and see a doctor. Many times if something like this goes on it could mean that there is a tumor on a certain part of your brain!Although is rare, it is possible! So wait it out a little while, but if it continues on without stopping, go and see a doctor just in case.
This sounds pretty normal to me. You just have that tallness in your genes. Don't sweat it man.
thats normal. welcome to the club. im 6'7
Wow! You're seriously that tall? I have heard that people who grow quickly can literally have growing pains. I think that's normal. But, since it's hard to diagnose via internet and since you really shouldn't trust internet answers to your body health issues, I'd say go see a doctor for consultation. And talk to your parents and your dad. Ask him if he had growing pains.
