Sugar,
If my anatomy and physiology doesn't fail me, knock knees are caused by a congenital abnormality in your femur bones, they are either bowed or twisted from the way you positioned yourself in your mothers uterus. It gets kind of cramped in there, and babies assume positions that are comfortable to them. Usually, as one grows and starts walking, the bones, along with the muscle development, straighten these bones into the proper position. Yours did not, and the malformation is causing stress on other parts of you skeletal system ... your back. I don't think you'll be able to find an orthopedic surgeon willing or able to straighten them out now, but ne er say never in medicine. If, in fact, this is the situation with you, might be worth a trip to the ortho doc for an official diagnosis.
Hi Laura -
Just thumbed you up as your response is as direct and straightup as they come.
Have a great week and happy fourth of July!!!

Thx Mary,
Directly direct and not full of hubrus. Happy, happy to you also, sweet thang. Hope you're all dried out up there, or did Debby miss you?
Anywho ... try to be a good girl and don't set your hair on fire with a sparkler...
(I did).
Peace out and in,

I was pretty knock kneed as a kid and they are better now that I'm older but my right knee does still turn inward a bit. Interestingly enough, chiropractors have told me my right hip wants to sit about 1/2 to 1 inch above the left and I have a lot of lower back pain and a cause is not real obvious on MRI. I do have a herniated disc and some degeneration but I have a great deal of pain! I never really thought of a correlation with being knock kneed but maybe that is part of it. How you walk can definitely affect the spine!

OK. From what I understand the symptoms you're reporting are indeed relevant and related to the condition. If this worsens or causes you pain I would of course see a Dr. Best to you!
