Question
Bowing of the legs can be due to various causes, but off the top it might be due to:
Long term, there may be a change in your gait, it might cause pain in the knees and ultimately impact your function. In situations where you are concerned, it would be good to consult a MSK/Sports Physician or physiotherapist in the first instance for an assessment, investigations and early treatment.
Hope this helps.
I can completely understand your disappointment at being told to cut back on sports, being an avid sports person myself. I shall attempt to break down and explain the situation for you: 1. The evidence about whether IgA nephropathy patients should completely avoid strenuous exercise is equivocal, to my knowledge. Data has shown that even though significantly increased levels of proteinuria are noted after intense exercise (maximal treadmill Bruce test), this lasts for less than 120 minutes.
I’m sorry to hear about your pain. For an active sportsman, that certainly can be quite distressing. I don’t think you have dislocated as that will really really be painful and will be hard to walk. But popping sounds can be a sign of other illnesses, perhaps you might want to see a doctor to get it properly diagnosed, there are some “childhood” diseases that can predispose patients to hip injuries.
