I inherited bow legs and now at 34, I'm wondering if it's possible to correct them through exercises or if surgery is the only option. Also, I've noticed I never gain muscle mass in my legs, arms, or face while the rest of my body builds up what could be causing that?

My pinky finger got fractured and the doctor recommended surgery. Is surgery really necessary for this kind of injury? I've attached the x-ray could you take a look and let me know what you think? Just worried if there are other options or if surgery is the best way to heal properly.

I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through
