I'm only 52 inches tall and feel really frustrated because everyone in my family is taller than me, even my siblings. I have bow legs (genu varum) which makes me look even shorter. Are there any treatments like growth hormones or surgery that could help me grow taller? How much would they cost? I'm struggling with this so much that it's affecting my mental health who should I consult for help?

At 52 inches with genu varum, limb lengthening or correction can help—consult ortho/plastic surgeon.

My mom had surgery 5 months ago and just started weight bearing as the doctor advised. Her recent x-ray shows one of the screws has moved slightly but the doctor said it shouldn't be an issue and told her to keep walking.

Mild screw movement post-surgery is common but pain on walking suggests possible irritation—limit weight bearing and recheck X-ray or get second opinion.
