I'm 16 and have bow legs with an O shape curvature is there any way to straighten them without surgery I'm really worried about how they look and if it can be fixed naturally

While you may not be able to "fix" the bone structure of your legs naturally at age 16, you can improve muscle strength, flexibility, and overall alignment, which can make your legs appear straighter and reduce associated pain. Exercises, stretching, and potentially bracing can help manage the condition and improve your overall well-being

I'm really worried about my knee. I hurt it while walking and now I can't seem to stand up straight on just one knee. The pain is intense, like a shock every time I try to walk after the injury. I did see an orthopedist who just twisted my leg a bit and I felt better for a while, but once I got home, the pain came back even worse. It's like a sharp jerk in my knee whenever I move. I'm freaking out about whether this is serious or if I might even need surgery. The thing is, I'm not in a good financial position and I'm really scared about what this means for my life and career. Could you please tell me what might be going on?
The recurring shock-like pain and instability in your knee suggest a possible ligament sprain or meniscal injury, which may not necessarily require surgery; however, to determine the extent of the injury and appropriate treatment, consider undergoing an MRI scan and consulting an orthopedic specialist again, who may recommend physical therapy, bracing, or pain management options to alleviate your symptoms and improve knee function
