So far for me has been surgery, my knees are a road map, they both look crazy, but it kept me walking from age of three to present, I also wore braces, I had joint replacements on right knee at age of 37, two years later had tool do over, then in 2007 I had right hip done because of navascular necrosis and the hip was partially dislocated from birth. Had had surgery from a dislocated thumb, the left hip was done for same reason 2010 and the left knee joint also that year, the knee didn't do well because of twisted femur and underdeveloped lower honesty is leg is almost 1/2 inch shorter than port.
