Im around 5'11 now(due to neck and knee problems) and i also noticed that my very last groth spurt was when i was only 14 years old(at the time i was 5'9) Im 18 now and kinda worried i wont keep my over 6'0 status. My brother is 6'5. when he is bare foot and when i am in my 1 inch thick shoes i appear 2 inches shorter to him. So i must be doing something right. Im also about 2 inches taller in the morning, that is cause by a relaxed and spine. Standing up puts weight to it so you lose an inch or 2. Maybe im 6'1 the whole time and just need to stop slouching? Will i grow to 6'3 like my family believe i will make, since all the other boys in my family are over 6'3. My friend(6'5) even noticed that i have been getting shorter and shorter every day. I used to appear upto his forehead and now im under his eyes. Is it possible ill get taller? or do i have to do something or take drugs to get taller? It really sucks because so many people here are over 6'3 and i hate being under it.

I boy can continue to grow until his 20's so I would not worry. I am a woman and grew another inch when I got out of high school. I do not understand about your injury is it permanent? I sure hope not that my be causing the lack of feeling tall. I am 5'8" tall and a woman. Now in my family I am short and my husband's family I am shorter than his sisters also. My husband use to be 6'1" and he is shorter than his brothers. So we are the shorties in the family and I do not give it much thought at this time, but here in American we have people from 4' to 6'5" so we come in all sizes. The ones who are really tall 6'5" and the really short ones under 5' get teased about their stature. I hope you get use to what ever height you become and do not think about taking growth hormones they are so dangerous. Good luck it does not matter how tall you are it matters who you are inside. It is a hard lesson to learn at your young age.
