I've been having pain at the base of my second toe for two months and the x-ray shows a cystic expansile lesion there labeled as possible enchondroma. How serious is this and what treatment options do I have? The report mentions it might need critical surgery - how long would recovery take if that's the case?

I'm 27 and have knock knees (genu valgum). Is there any way to fix this without surgery? I'm worried about how it affects me long-term and if exercises or braces could help
In almost all cases of genu valgum, the condition will resolve before a child reaches adolescence. For older children and adults, the most likely form of therapy involves stretches and exercises to realign the knees and relieve pain. Some people might find relief with orthotics or braces
