I'm 21 and have bow legs with a 4-inch gap between my knees. There's no pain when I walk and my walking seems normal. Are there any non-surgical ways to fix or improve this condition?

Bow legs is a structural problem that affects the shape of the bone and must be addressed fundamentally. Surgical correction is the only way to permanently straighten bow legs. The surgery needed depends on the age of the patient and on the severity of the bowing.

View allI met with an accident a week ago and the first doctor I saw recommended surgery but the second one said it's not needed. Why do doctors have such different opinions about the same injury? It's really confusing and worrying me.
If you receive conflicting opinions from two doctors, consider the following steps: Understand the Opinions: Take time to understand both diagnoses and treatment recommendations. Ask each doctor to explain their reasoning. Gather More Information: Research the conditions and suggested treatments to better understand the medical issues at hand. Ask Questions: Reach out to both doctors with any questions or concerns you have about their opinions. This could clarify their reasoning and help you make an informed decision. Seek a Third Opinion: If you're still uncertain, consider consulting a third doctor. This can provide additional perspectives and help you weigh your options. Consider Specialization: If the opinions differ significantly, it might be useful to consult a specialist related to the specific condition. Evaluate Your Options: After gathering all the information, consider your own health, preferences, and values when making a decision about treatment. Trust Your Instincts: Ultimately, trust your instincts about which opinion resonates more with you, and feel empowered to choose a path that feels right. Follow Up: Regardless of the decision, ensure you have a plan for follow-up care and monitoring. It's important to have open communication with your healthcare providers throughout this process

Four months ago on May 8th, I had an accident that broke the bone in my polio-affected leg. The doctor did surgery and inserted a rod from my thigh bone to the knee with screws. Now my bones are healing and I've started walking, but I can't bend my knee at all. I've been doing wax therapy and some exercises, but it's still really hard to bend. What treatment would help me get my knee movement back?
