See your doctor: Genu valgum (knock knees) is a common problem and can often be treated with special physical therapy. There are surgical options but this should be reserved for if physical therapy fails to help. See your regular doctor who can either refer you to a knowledgeable physical therapist who knows how to treat this or to an orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation. Good luck!
