There is an Orthopaedic surgery that is done on children and some adults where one leg is shorter than the other. And I have seen a very short person also have this surgery.
While the patient is under general anesthesia, the bones to be lengthened are cut. Metal pins or screws are inserted through the skin and into the bone.
Pins are placed above and below the cut in the bone, and the skin incision is stitched closed.
A metal device like some sort of external frame is attached to the pins in the bone and will be used later to gradually pull the cut bone apart, creating a space between the ends of the cut bone that will fill in with new bone. The lengthening device is used very gradually to ensure adequate filling of the bone and stretching of the soft tissues.
Later, when the leg has reached the desired length and has healed (usually after several months), another surgical procedure will be done to remove the pins.
An Orthopaedic surgeon would be able to give you more information.
I hope this helps...

I'm short like you, best thing to do i have found is to wear work boots or something similar, will instantly add an inch or 2 to your height without looking obvious

Those two more inches will not bring you happiness, and they certainly won't get the babes for you. Forget this. Be happy the way you are.

I have heard about somthing where they inject growth hormones into you or somthing and it adds an inch to your height. The problem is i also heard it is really expensive

Just be happy you're alive and healthy and not dying in a hospital room somewhere.
