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.

I'm dealing with spine TB and have been on ATT with complete bed rest for about four months now. I've started doing some cycling for 30 minutes because I really want to lose weight, but I'm wondering if this is a good choice since I sometimes feel pain in my spine area. I don't want to cut down on calories, so I'm hoping to lose weight through physical activity. What would you recommend? Should I keep cycling or maybe try something else?

Continue ATT as advised by the pulmonologist.
