Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Though it is not a rule, some times some people may have the possibility. Still as you are a boy of 19 years you can have a possibility.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have X ray of the long bones and have an idea of the presence of the growth points. If you have them active, you can definitely have the growth.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms injections of anabolic steroids,calcium, iron, and protein supplements preferably complain.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
