Growth can be late?!


Question:

Growth can be late?

hi, i am a 18 yr old white male and currently stand at 5'8 1/2. My mother is 5'7 and my father is 6'1. I have never had a growth spurt, my growth has just seemed to steadly increase as the years went by. At the end of the year 2006 i was shorter than mom, and from the time of december 06 to may 07 i have passed my mother up in height and grew literally 2 inches. I also just started getting light to darkish facial hair, just no mustache hair yet sadly. People say i look like im about 15 because i have a baby face and im 18, so i might possible be a later bloomer. This month my legs have been bothering me terrible with dule aches in the shins/quads and sometimes my calves. Ive been real tired latelly aswell as if 10 hours asleep each day isnt enough for me. Could i be going into some pubertal growth spurt and jump to my fathers height in the next few years or so? Ps. i hardly grew in high school maybe a inch or so, i just recently started to shoot up once i turned 18 kinda odd eh?

Oh yeah i forgot to mention i had my tonsils out december 06, and ever since i had them removed my growth seemed to sky rocket. Not sure if this is a concidence or the infected tonsils which i had for 4 yrs prematurly stunted my growth.


Answers:

I never had a growth spurt per say. hit puberty on time but just grew slow and steady until I was a good 21 I topped out at 6'0. had a buddy who shot up from 6'1 to 6'5 at age 25, his father was only 5'11. genetics plays a role but you never really know what is or isn't going to happen or when
