Suggest Remedy To Correct Shape Of Leg
So basically for the last couple of months I have thought that my legs have looked a bit of a weird shape and it slightly hurts to have them as shown in the picture. Do you know what might have caused this and how it could be corrected? imgur.com/nhz8h2H

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
There seems to be no much difference in lower limb muscles.
To tone up the thigh muscles squatting plyometric squatting lunges with dumbells and calf raises are the best options.
All these exercises are best done under the guidance of your physical therapist for best results. You can also do split squat.
Stand with back facing a chair (about 2 feet away), hands on hips, and bend left leg behind you to place top of foot on chair seat.
Squat, bending right leg 90 degrees with knee over ankle. Make it harder: After each full squat, do a half squat, bending just 45 degrees.
Do 15 to 20 reps. Switch legs and repeat. Do 2 to 3 sets.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
