About knock knee
Thank you for your question . Parents with children with knock knees ( genu valgum) should consult a pediatric orthopedic surgeon (children's orthopedic surgeon) . Although these deformities often resolve as the child gets older, it’s best to get it checked out, especially if a parent has the deformity which has persisted into adulthood (which is the case here). Best regards, Robert J. Bess MD READ MORE
Why does my knee bone hurt?
Knee pain can be caused by many things. You should make an appointment to see an orthopedic surgeon. He or she will take a history (that is, ask you questions about your knee pain). Then, he or she will do an examination. After that, it might be wise to do X-rays or even possibly an MRI scan. That is the proper way to proceed with knee pain. Best of luck. Robert J.
