HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

At age 23, it is unlikely that you would be able to gain any further height.

There is an area at the end of the long bones that is involved in adding new bone and therefore length and height during childhood and adolescence.

By the end of the growth period of adolescence this area has changed and no further growth is possible no matter what medications are used.
Medications would need to be used while this area is capable of adding bone.

Yoga may help with stretching and posture.

I hope this helps
