My brother is 17 and has had bow legs since he was around 14-15. Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to fix it? We're really worried and could use some advice.

Because an adult's bones are fully formed, surgery is the only way to correct bow legs in an adult, although certain exercises may help straighten your legs and protect your knees. Treatment for bow legs is different for children. Bow legs in children usually resolve as a child grows

View allI'm really concerned because I've been dealing with shoulder pain for the past two weeks, and applying things like Moov or Relaxyl hasn't helped at all. It feels like my head is leaning forward when I walk, and there's this uncomfortable stiffness radiating from my shoulder down my back. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?

I'm dealing with a mild disc bulge at the L5S1 level and kind of confused about which specialist to see. Should I go to an orthopedic doctor or a neurosurgeon for this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
For a mild disc bulge at the L5-S1 level, it's recommended to consult an Orthopedic Doctor (Orthopedic Spine Specialist) initially, as they can assess and manage most spinal conditions, including disc bulges; if surgery is required or if there are neurological concerns, your orthopedic doctor may refer you to a Neurosurgeon for further evaluation and treatment.

I had tibia bone surgery 4 years ago with a titanium rod inserted, but now I'm feeling some pain in my leg and walking with a limp even though the X-ray shows everything looks fine. Could there be a reaction to the rod or any other reason for this pain? What could be causing this?
