For Leg Pain, please follow the below advise
Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

Bow Leg is a condition in which the knees stay apart even when standing with feet and ankles together. It forms a bow and hence the name. If left untreated it could lead to problems in the later stages of life. Best to see a Orthopedic doctor and get it checked.
