Shrinking in height!! ahhh!!!!!

[ark94]

Okay, so about 3 months ago, or so not sure when, i went to the doctors to when i was sick. I was 6'ft. and like last month i was ALMOST 6'1. I went to the doctors for my annual checked up on Tuesday, i am officially just under 5"11, so 5ft. 10" .... Right now im sitting in an awkward position, i got a t-bone x-ray done because that is what my doctor recommended, and he double checked my height as he said it was not that normal for someone my age.

Now, my parents and doctor are a bit worried, and i have shrunk almost 1 and a half inches. It has been noticed by my friends and parents, recently too since i have started squatting and deadlifting properly. Doing rippetoe's 3x5... can this be related to working out? My parents say if something is wrong with my t-bone i can't workout anymore... i need something to use against them, maybe my posture is improving? i didn't have that good of a posture before? Anything???
Need some input if you guys know anything as to why, or what iit can be related to or if it is even healthy/safe?

Did you get measured at the same time of day both times? Did you squat/dead before you went to the doc's and got measured? Was this the same doc's office each time?

Hard to say what could be going on. Definitely get tested for spinal problems (scoliosis, kyphosis, etc..). Check also for hip displasia and other joint disorders. Best of wishes man, hopefully it turns out to be nothing bad.

That's what I'm going with, 6'1 to 5'10 in a couple months? No way must be measurement errors.
