I'm 19 and a half years old and I'm about 5 feet 7 inches tall. I'm really curious about any potential height growth I could expect by the time I'm 21, especially with exercise and a proper diet. I've heard some people talk about doing setups while sticking to a cart leg - is that something that's good or bad for height growth? Also, I've been told that I might only gain about half an inch to maybe 2 inches, but that's rare. Is there any truth to that? I just want to know what I can realistically expect.

So, while your body may not grow significantly taller after 19.5 years, adopting a healthy lifestyle with good posture practices and exercises can help you reach your full potential and improve your overall body alignment.

My wife was just diagnosed with a pituitary microadenoma measuring 4.1x6x5.2 mm on her MRI. Can this be treated with medication or will she need surgery? I'm really worried about what the next steps should be.
A pituitary microadenoma, especially one as small as 4.1x6x5.2 mm, is often managed without immediate surgery, and medication may be sufficient. Your wife will likely need follow-up imaging and potentially hormone testing to determine if the tumor is causing hormone imbalances or is actively growing. The best course of action will depend on a multidisciplinary team of experts, including a neurosurgeon, endocrinologist, and possibly an ophthalmologist.

My mom's 57 and she's been on omnacortil 10 mg for the past 8 years because of her skin Ellery disease. But now she's got diabetes and some BP issues, so the doctors said she can't take it anymore. Ever since she stopped, she's really weak, can't eat, and is vomiting. What should we do? Can you help us out?
sudden withdrawal from long-term steroid use (8 years) can lead to severe adrenal insufficiency, and the doctor may recommend a gradual tapering off of omnacortil to prevent withdrawal symptoms, while also managing her diabetes, BP, and skin condition with alternative treatments.
