Just tell me if this question is unworthy to ask?

i sent an email to a doctor, asking if i could exercise because i sprained my ankle before and i was trying to exericise because my friends was so cocky about how she was taller than me, i couldn't stand it so i decided to grow taller





hi, how are you?


i want to ask you if i can jump rope because im really stressed out right now


my friends and i compared our heights and she was similar or 1cm taller than me


this might sound a little weird, but i feel like going crazy, and moreover im sweating


if i could do some intense exercise now like jumping 4000 times?





would stretching intensely and often help me get back on the road?





is there any fast-growing techniques you know that would give me a better idea of myself?


are growth hormone pills any reliable, possibly from shoppers drug mart?

Just tell me if this question is unworthy to ask?
Lots of factors here, so let's address them as simply as possible.





1. Physicians do not evaluate, diagnose, or prescribe via e-mail. Even physicians who have known you all your life. Doing so would be a direct road to a lawsuit.





2. "Growing taller" happens in your epiphyseal plates http://www.mrs.umn.edu/~goochv/HAP/lectu... as cartilage is replaced by bone. NOTHING can make this happen more quickly, not even hormones special foods or exercising. In fact, the epiphyseal plates "fuse" or become solid by age 21 and you stop growing.





3. Stop e-mailing this physician. Even if you're close to him, this can be considered harassment. It can even, since you're in a highly-anxious state, be used to put you in a hospital.





4. If you have an anxiety disorder and are not being treated, please see an appropriate physician for evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. No, an anxiety disorder isn't your fault, and you're not "crazy".





5. Your self-worth should not be based on your height. Or your weight. Or your appearance at all.





This is a very good Question to ask. Your anxiety seems to be affecting your ability to function normally. My recommendation is that you see a physician (not the one you're e-mailing) or a counselor for assistance. All of us have panic or anxiety sometimes and need a little help to cope with it!
Reply:you sprained your ankle?





then its time to rest and let it heal





drink milk and enjoy the holidays and become lethargic for awhile then I think
Reply:i think you just need to ask him a concise (brief) question and leave out the details about who said what... in doing this, he will possibly take you more seriously and perhaps respond to your question.
Reply:ummmmm... whoa.





1st, chill out.





2nd, be patient. I'm sure your doctor is busy and will reply when he gets a chance.
Reply:First - doctors do not like to give advice without first examining the patient. Second - if he gave free advice via an e-mail all the time, what would he do for an income? Third, he probably views this as annoying and rambling as most of us are now thinking. Any, why on earth are you fixated on height? There is nothing you can do that will affect how tall you are going to grow. Stop thinking about this. Next - are you on medication for your anxiety? If not, you probably should be. Stop thinking about yourself all the time, hopefully you have a job that should occupy some of your time, go for a walk daily, do some volunteer work so you don't have time to think about yourself all the time; take some college courses. Stop e-mailing your doctor. If you have questions, make an appointment and go see him.
Reply:calm down its okay


probably he'll answer, well, if he doesnt then just relax and pay another doctor a visit
Reply:Since he does know you, he may think you are just teasing him with this question. A doctor you do not know would be more likely to ask you to get an appointment so he could talk to you in person. Any doctor is not going to give you a diagnosis through he mail.I have never heard of jumping rope helping to stretch your body. If he knows you hurt your ankle , he just figures you know better then to jump with it so he thinks you are testing him. How old are you? You may still grow taller and be taller then your friend. Someday you will probably meet someone and wish you were a bit shorter. Life is strange. Don't let things stress you. Have you ever heard the saying "Don't sweat the little stuff"? Well, the next line is... "It's All little stuff." Just know without a doubt, you are the perfect height.God made you this height for a reason. Enjoy it.
