What to do if i am 18 and have bow legs i'm verrry athletic i can flip and also breakdance but do those things make my legs bow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Normal activity is very unlikely to cause bowing of long bones. You may have knee problems, other bone disease, or maybe just normal legs for you. See your doctor to discuss.
