Sometimes it causes pain in my knees & my legs look awkward when i walk. What options do i have to correct my knocked knees give that I'm still 21 ?

What appears like knock knees may not be necessarily knock knees. To diagnose it, you need a full length x-ray and looking at angles. Then we have to assess what the problem is and what the solutions are.
Even though you are 21, your bones are fully formed and of normal adult strength. Any surgery will involve bony correction.
Hope this helps.
