I'm 23 and have bow legs are there any non-surgical treatments or exercises that can help fix them and how long would it take to see improvement
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
At 23, the bones are mostly mature, so non-surgical correction of bow legs is limited. However, physiotherapy focusing on strengthening hip and thigh muscles, along with posture correction exercises, may improve appearance and function. It may take several months to notice subtle changes. For significant correction, surgical options may be more effective.

View allI've been playing badminton for quite a long time, about 34 years actually, and I've never had any issues before. But lately, I've noticed that when I wake up early in the morning, I experience some sort of pain on my left-hand side. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
It is possible that you are experiencing muscle strain or inflammation in your left hand due to repetitive use during badminton. I recommend taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac (e.g. Voltaren) to the affected area. Make sure to rest your hand and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists, consult a physiotherapist for further evaluation and management.

My MRI showed ligament damage but I'm not sure if surgery is the only option. Are there other treatments I could try first or is surgery really necessary in my case? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife if there are alternatives that might work.
for P/E ORTHO specialist opinion is advised to the patient.
