Question

My elbow carrying angle is currently 18 degrees but I need to reduce it to 15 degrees or less for my Indian army medical exam. Is there any way to correct this without surgery? I'm really worried it might affect my chances

Carrying angle can't be reduced without surgery—no natural method works for angles >15° if exam has strict cutoff.
