can't grow at all

My whole upper body bone structure is deformed. I have had scoliosis and round shoulders since birth but doctors didnt diagnose it until i was 16 when i pretty much couldnt do anything about it. All the height i gain from stretches goes back to my original height because my bones go back to their normal position, since scoliosis can't be cured. My doctor told me i should lift weight because i dont have enough muscle to keep my bones in place and she said thats the only way i can improve my posture basically. I dont want to weight lift because i might have some natural height left to grow but then again i stopped growing at 14 and have been at tanner stage 5 since about 14 or 15 so i think my growth plates closed a long time ago. Only the bone structure in my legs is normal so maybe i can get a few inches by stretching them out. Any ideas?

RE: can't grow at all

Do as your doctor has told you, of course! I have very mild scoliosis and a swayed back, and have found that stretching my spine actually helps me when I go to my movement/yoga class in the evenings.

But the most important thing is to have a positive attitude. It is a proven fact that how your mind is feeling reflects on your body. For instance, ever notice how people suffereing from depression or are just really down ofen get sick, even slightly?
