Could Bow Legging From The Knees Be The Cause For The Pain In The Ankle?
My mother has arthritic knees, they are totally worn out, yesterday morning she got up and after walking fom bedroom to dining room her ankle gave way and now she can not walk on it, and I might add she is terribly bowlegged from her knees, could that have an effect on her ankles?

yes ....I am sorry to inform you that bow legs would not only affect ankles but hips, and spine may be affected too....right now to concentrate on ankle apply cold compression and elevation
