Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 You knock kneed? I am, horribly so.... and what a site to behold I am on ski's. It's hysterical and I'm hysterical because I simply cannot control the ski's due to the shape of my knees. I understand that as we age, severe knock knees affect the hips and back and hamstrings and all sorts of things. Aside from that, I was an extremely atheletic person - bike riding, baseball, basketball, walking. Dusty Re: Downhill Skiing () This is probably why when I went skiing I felt completely lost and helpless and fell down and my left leg twisted behind me in this wierd way. I just remember thinking how the HECK does anyone ski. I could not stop with the knee thing (putting them together). I just couldn't do it and i was always athletic. I think my roll for control areas are VERY WEAK. > Hi Kathy and , > I have another theory, > When you ski you use a technique of co-contraction of the hip abductors > and adductors.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 So, which way do your feet point? Just trying to picture this. (too broke$$$$ to ski) > You knock kneed?

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Ankles out, toes in. All the time. Knees are so knocked that ankles cannot be put toghther (neither can feet) without sliding one leg (therefore knee) forward to avoid hitting other knee, thereby preventing the placement of two feet together - ankle to ankle. Got it from my mother. Dreadful looking. Seems these days its correctable by some kind of brace at the hips in very small infants. Then the leg bone forms straight - and as a result - so does the knee, instead of bowing inward towards the other knee. Dusty Re: Knees and Skiing () So, which way do your feet point?

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I've never been told I'm knock kneed... and I've been to alot of docs. But I could be.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm too broke too, believe me LOL and they don't point in a particular way. I have flat feet. I think my knees are ok. not sure. > > You knock kneed? I am, horribly so.... and what a site to behold > I am on > > ski's.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Well it is hard for me to get my ankle bones together... without my knees touching... but it's pretty straight and almost possible. not entirely possible though.. i always thought I had odd knees. they have alot of fat around them LOL and have since I was a baby. the pics of me taking my first steps show a fat little chubby knee!! -- In VulvarDisorders , " Dusty " <dusty@b...> wrote: > Ankles out, toes in.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 My legs on the outside of where the knee is, are severely indented - towards the other leg. Most people, when standing straight up , legs together - the outside line of the leg from hip to ankle is straight. Instead my knees bend inward, so that on the inside of the leg (inner thigh to ankle) the kne, is grossly rounded, seriously protruding and touching the other knee. This is with feet rather wide apart. No way, I can put my feet together. Oddly enough, my sister is bowlegged - as was my father. see site for figures - my legs look like figure I, my sisters legs are only slightly bowed - not as severe as II http://www.orthoseek.com/articles/bowlegs-kk.html Re: Knees and Skiing () Well it is hard for me to get my ankle bones together... without my knees touching... but it's pretty straight and almost possible. not entirely possible though.. i always thought I had odd knees. they have alot of fat around them LOL and have since I was a baby. the pics of me taking my first steps show a fat little chubby knee!! -- In VulvarDisorders , " Dusty " <dusty@b...> wrote: > Ankles out, toes in.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Ah I see now, Dusty. I have to say I am not familiar with knock kneed. But I do know bowlegged. My brother is bowlegged. I wonder if this has anything to do with the vulvar troubles or is it yet another LUCKY break for you? I do think my legs are funny though... around the knees, but not to that much of a degree. > My legs on the outside of where the knee is, are severely indented - towards > the other leg.
