Question 1

Can bow legs be fixed naturally at my age of 24 without going through surgery I've had them since I was young and wondering if exercises or other non-surgical options might help

Accepted Answer

At 24, naturally correcting bowlegs (genu varum) without surgery is unlikely, as bone structure is typically fully formed by this age. Exercise and stretching can improve muscle strength and flexibility, but they won't change the bone shape. Surgical correction, like an osteotomy, is usually necessary to reshape the bones

Question 2

I've been experiencing this really sharp, stabbing pain in my right biceps every time I try to move my arm outwards or upwards. It's pretty new and the pain sort of shoots towards my neck. Any idea what could be causing this, or what I should do about it? It's starting to worry me.

Accepted Answer

The sharp stabbing pain in your right biceps, exacerbated by outward or upward arm movements and radiating to your neck, may indicate a potential issue with your rotator cuff, biceps tendon, or neck (cervical spine); possible causes include bicipital tendinitis, shoulder impingement, or cervical radiculopathy; consult an orthopedic specialist

Question 3

My husband has been dealing with pain in his right wrist for the past four months and was diagnosed with Kienbock's disease by an orthopedist. The doctor recommended surgery since he's in stage 2, and the MRI and X-ray show his lunate bone is damaged from poor blood supply. Is surgery really the only option at this stage or are there other treatments we could try first
