Are My Knees All Right?

My knee is a weird shape. I am 14 years old and i am a girl. It's not painful but it looks weird when i wear tight leggings or shorts. I have over-active thyroid but it is not serious. Are my knees just naturally that shape and can i so something about it?

Hello,
Since you have not provided any details about the knee position giving an exact solution is not possible. There are two possibilities either you have knocked knees(knee joint comming together) or bowed knees(knees going away from each other)
In both these cases footwear changes,bracing and physical therapy will help in the treatment.
If you want further help you can mail the photograph of the knees
Hope you find this satisfactory
thank you
