Growth Hormone Problem?

[Cats123]

I'm 14 male 5'7" and I have a growth hormone problem. When I was 11 I began puberty and I also grew 7 to 9 inches before I was 12. I grew a massive amount really quickly which resulted in me getting pectus carinatum because of the fast growing tissues. I was 5'5.5" at age 12. And then from age 12 to 13 I grew 1/2 an inch. So now I barely grew to 5'6". Now I'm 14 and I grew 1 inch from last year, so I'm 5'7". Obviously something went wrong and I have a growth hormone problem. What does this mean though? Am I done growing at 5'7" or am I going to grow a lot more to 6'10"? It could go either way. What if I grow one foot in 6 months, my chest will be screwed then! So what's next?
Do you agree that I have a growth hormone problem?

My parents heights are 5'9" and 5'11", so I should be near 6 foot, but that doesn't seem likely because of my growth hormone problem.

I figured out the reason why I wasn't growing, but I still don't know what's next.

Are you just speculating you have a growth hormone problem, or is it diagnosed from a doctor? If it's from a doctor, ask them about it, and if you're just speculating than maybe go ask a doctor about it. Also, 5'7 at 14 is average / slightly tall so I wouldn't worry about it.

Well unless you get a diagnosis from an actual doctor, you don't have a growth problem. You're 5"7 at 14, you're tall. I am 5"4 & 1/2 and im 15. You're tall for your age, you're fine, if you grow, you grow, can't help that. You never know how tall you will be on your own and doctors can help you out. Don't worry about your height.

We grow in stages, it is never continuous steady growth

We'are not doctors. I wonder why a doctor would study 7 years if it would be so easy to diagnose just in one minute by Internet.
I would just wait to see how it goes but if this situation worries you a lot, then you should visit a doctor and ask him.

I am speculating. It is an average height, but the path I took to get to that height is far from average and that path tells me more about my future height than my actual height.

(Read Above) I can figure out how tall I will be on my own by looking at the facts and calculating. I am very curious and would like to know the answer.

I get that, but there is an average for these stages and I seem to not be following, so something is up and I don't know what.

I know my body better than a doctor ever would, so with my knowledge of myself and others' knowledge I was hoping we could diagnose something, no doctor needed.


You internet people always respond with such reliance to others, when I know that you are not that reliant yourself.

But, I plan to go to the doctor soon. I want to get blood work and have them check everything, just to know what I am. Is this a valid reason to get blood work? Will I be able to get blood work just because I'm curious or do I have to suspect something is wrong with me? Also is it possible to test for everything if I am allowed to get blood work?

Ok well I'm not a oracle or a psychic so you'll just have to wait and see

If you know your body so much, then why ask if you have a growth problem, you grow a inch and a half every year it seems like so you may grow again, I don't see why you're so anxious to find out though, Its not like you can speed up the process and we're not doctors, we can't just say you do and or not.

Its 3am, Im not even gonna try figuring you what that means

As for the bloodwork, if you wanna get a test, then you can and that is a completely valid reason to get it done., Id have to ask my grandma ( she does this sorta thing ) but as far as I know, you can get your blood work odone if you suspect somethings wrong and I have no idea on the last answer.

There ya go
