I have knock knees but it doesn't affect my running or workouts can it be fixed without surgery? What are my options?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, knock knees (genu valgum) can often be managed without surgery, even if they don't affect running or workouts. Non-surgical options like physical therapy, orthotics, and lifestyle adjustments can be effective

View allI had Achilles tendon repair surgery six weeks ago and just got my cast removed last week. My ankle feels really stiff so the doctor recommended some ankle motion exercises, but I've noticed swelling in my foot. Is this normal after cast removal? What can I do to help reduce the swelling?
Yes, swelling in your foot after cast removal is a common occurrence, especially after an Achilles tendon repair surgery, and it's normal to experience some stiffness and swelling after a cast is removed. The stiffness is likely due to inactivity during the cast period, and the swelling is from the release of pressure on the tissues. To help reduce the swelling, focus on elevation, ice, and consider compression socks, as well as following your doctor's recommendations for exercises and medication.

my mom is only 56 but her doctor recommended knee replacement surgery - seems too young for that is there any medicine or treatment to improve her knee lubrication and synovial fluid instead
Knee replacement at 56 is not uncommon if pain is severe. Cartilage injections and physiotherapy may help delay surgery in early stages.
