Question

Can bow legs be fixed naturally at my age of 24 without going through surgery I've had them since I was young and wondering if exercises or other non-surgical options might help

At 24, naturally correcting bowlegs (genu varum) without surgery is unlikely, as bone structure is typically fully formed by this age. Exercise and stretching can improve muscle strength and flexibility, but they won't change the bone shape. Surgical correction, like an osteotomy, is usually necessary to reshape the bones

Question

I've been building homes recently and started feeling a burning sensation in my inner left leg, like maybe I pulled a muscle. But now it's gotten worse and moved down past my knee. It's super painful when I walk or move, and the area is all red wherever there's pain. It's been like this for a week. Any idea what's going on with my leg?

Question

I have an ACL tear and meniscus tear in my right knee but I can still run and jog with some pain sometimes. The MRI confirmed the ACL tear. Is it okay to keep running daily without surgery, and are there any precautions I should take?

Question

I'm worried about my knees. I've been told I have chondromalacia grade 4, and I'm really concerned about it progressing into osteoarthritis. Also, I've started doing some quadriceps strengthening exercises, like box squats and lunges, to try to help with the stability, but I'm scared that I might be damaging my cartilage even more. Is that something I should be really cautious about?
