General & Family Physician Dr. Sapan J. Pandya's  Response
There is very less chance for you to gain height. The scientific method is take X-rays of growing ends of longs bones of your limbs. If your limbs show presence of growing ends then check your Growth Hormone level. Also your S. Calcium and S. D3 level.
Whatever is deficient has to be compensated.
