View allI'm 18 and have bow legs that seem to be getting worse. I don't want surgery but cycling is getting harder even though I've been doing it for weeks. Are there any physical exercises that can actually help fix bow legs or at least stop them from getting worse? I don't have pain yet but I'm worried it might start soon. What would you recommend?
While exercises cannot permanently fix bow legs (Genu Varum), they can help manage symptoms and potentially slow their progression. For an 18-year-old with bow legs, a combination of strengthening, stretching, and mobility exercises can be beneficial

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 recently got an MRI for a knee injury from playing sports and it shows a partial ACL tear at the femoral attachment, along with some changes in the medial meniscus, bone contusion in the tibial condyle, and mild joint effusion. Will this heal on its own or do I need physiotherapy or even surgery? What's the best treatment plan for this kind of injury?
Partial ACL tears and meniscal changes often improve with physiotherapy—surgery only if instability or pain persists.
