Question

My father is 58 and works in the Consumer Grievance Cell at CESC, so he has to travel a lot on his modified Royal Enfield Bullet with a sidecar. His legs have been getting weak, and doctors diagnosed him with osteoporosis. Some suggested knee replacement is that a good option at his age? How much will it actually help him?

Question

I've been having some problems with my right leg for the past two months. I had a bad fall down the stairs, and my whole body weight landed on that leg, causing it to twist. I initially took some medications, and it felt better for a while, but now the pain is back. It mostly shows up when I walk, right below the knee, and sometimes affects the back of my ankle and knee. Occasionally, it even moves to my calf or thigh muscles. I'm feeling like my leg is weaker and stiffer, and I can't exert full pressure, which is making walking pretty tough. I also tried physiotherapy for a week, but it didn't seem to offer much relief. What would you suggest I do now? Would love some advice!

What are some non-surgical ways to fix knock knees? I've been looking for treatments but haven't found anything solid yet and really don't want to consider surgery. Are there exercises or braces that actually work?
