Hello i have knocked knees and struggle walking up stairs running and walking far could operations help me be more energetic?

Operations: can treat "knock knees" ("VALGUS") deformities but the OPERATION will not increase your energy....YOU must do that! (Get a general check up if you are fatigued all the time) Hope this helps! Dr Z
