I fractured a muscle in my right leg a few months ago and now Im seeing these dark lines on the nerves in my thigh. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a serious issue?

The dark lines on your nerves could be due to bruising or inflammation. It is important to monitor for any changes in sensation, color, or temperature in that area. To help with healing and reduce inflammation, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Make sure to rest your leg and elevate it when possible. If the dark lines persist or if you experience worsening symptoms, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm 21 and have bow legs with a 4-inch gap between my knees. There's no pain when I walk and my walking seems normal. Are there any non-surgical ways to fix or improve this condition?

Bow legs is a structural problem that affects the shape of the bone and must be addressed fundamentally. Surgical correction is the only way to permanently straighten bow legs. The surgery needed depends on the age of the patient and on the severity of the bowing.
