Had surgery for knee bursitis about 10 months ago but now the pain is back can't bend my knee properly and standing for more than 20 minutes hurts. Could this be bursitis returning or something else going on?

Yes, it's possible that your knee pain is due to bursitis returning, but it could also be caused by other factors, such as insufficient rehabilitation, re-injury, or even the progression of other knee conditions. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have bow legs and just found out I have a vitamin D deficiency after getting tested. If I start taking vitamin D supplements, will my bow legs improve on their own or do I need to do specific exercises? Is there any way to fix this without having to go through surgery?

Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to bowlegs (also known as genu varum), and taking supplements can help improve bone health and potentially reduce the severity of bowing. However, correcting bowlegs in adults, especially, requires a more comprehensive approach, and exercises may be beneficial, but surgical intervention may be necessary for significant cases.
