What's the max height I can gain and still live a normal life? I'm 166 cm now and want to grow about 15 cm. Is it okay to lengthen both femur and tibia together, or will that mess with balance or make it hard to do sports and run later?

Also, has anyone tried using growth hormone or a steroid cycle to speed up bone healing?

You can lengthen the femur 7-8cm and the tibia 5cm. Most people who get lengthened this much report minimal change to performance and function, but of course it theres a myriad of other factors involved. You can do them both but not at the same time as that would drastically affect healing and increase the chance of complication.
