Yes, it's possible to improve the appearance and function of knock knees without surgery, especially at your age. Strengthening exercises, physiotherapy, and potentially bracing can help realign your knees and strengthen supporting muscles.

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.

it's been 6 weeks since my acl and meniscus surgery - can i ditch the knee brace and crutches now and start climbing stairs normally?

It's generally advisable to consult with your surgeon or physical therapist before making any significant changes to your recovery plan, especially after ACL and meniscus surgery. However, at 6 weeks post-op, you might be able to gradually decrease reliance on the knee brace and crutches, but you should not start climbing stairs normally yet. Full stair climbing typically takes longer, around 3-4 months, and requires a more comprehensive rehabilitation program.
