am 16 years old, 5'9-10(not sure) and am
155 lbs(i am not fat, i am in shape) and I
have bowed legs(my doctor knows too and I
am going to a specialist soon) and I
wanted to know what you think. Like would
you think I need surgery and stuff. In the
picture below my knees are locked(because
i can hyperexcend my knees a little so the
bow is more when there straight also the
picture isnt straight on so then seem less
bowed too), also my knees always hurt when
I walk or do any exercise and my ankels
hurt too when my knees do. Also I walk
funny because I don't and cant bend my
knees.

is not normal i hope your specialist can
help .
