I'm 19 and have bow legs which my friends tease me about. I really want to straighten them naturally through exercises instead of surgery are there any options that could help me?

While exercises and stretches can help strengthen muscles and improve alignment, they won't change the shape of your bones, which is the root cause of bow legs. Surgery (osteotomy) is generally the only way to correct the bone alignment in adults. However, strengthening exercises and stretches can help manage symptoms and improve overall leg health

View allI've been having some issues since I had surgery to repair my Achilles tendon. My body seems to be retaining fluid, I'm gaining weight, and I've been experiencing shortness of breath, which got me wondering if it might be CHF. But my cardiologist says my heart's doing fine, and my pulmonologist says there's no sign of COPD or any respiratory issues. All my liver tests have come back normal too. They're pinning my breathing problems on my weight, but honestly, I feel like the weight gain started after the breathing issues. Could it be possible that something went wrong during my surgery that's causing these symptoms? My foot's still painful too.
no it cannot be because of surgery

Yes, knock knees can be fixed by doing exercises that strengthen the muscles around the hips, thighs, and knees. These exercises, such as wall squats, leg raises and lying abduction, can help correct the alignment by improving muscle balance and joint stability.
