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

Unless it causing problems- don’t have it removed. Share the x rays. It will cost around Indian rupees 50000 rupees . If use anchors it will be around 80000 rupees. Cost varies depending on the hospitals

I'm dealing with a lingering pain in my left leg after lifting weights. The pain seems to radiate down to the middle dorsal side of my knee. I've been taking nervite and ultradase tablets, but the discomfort seems chronic now. What should I do next?

After weight lifting, you have developed chronic pain in your left leg, specifically on the middle dorsal side down to the knee. I recommend taking a combination of pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications. You can take a tablet of Aceclofenac 100mg along with Thiocolchicoside 4mg. This will help reduce the pain and inflammation in your leg. Additionally, I suggest applying a topical pain relief gel containing Diclofenac to the painful area. This will provide localized relief from the pain and discomfort. Make sure to rest your leg, elevate it when possible, and avoid any strenuous activities that may exacerbate the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
