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.

Broke my tibia 4 weeks ago and have been in a cast without surgery. Got an xray done and attached it here. Wanted to ask how long I need to keep the POP on before it can come off. When can I start putting some weight on the leg and what's this kind of fracture called. Also how long till it heals enough for me to walk without crutches. Been taking Fredcal 500mg twice a day for calcium is that a good choice
Wear the pop for another 2 weeks. After 2 weeks start partial weight bearing. This is called a tibia fracture. In 3 months you can walk mostly normally Use injection vitamin d to ensure good healing
