Hello,
I am a mother of twins – one girl and one boy, who are now 2.2 years old. Our family has a genetic condition called achondroplasia. However, most of their milestones have been on time.
Since my daughter started walking, she has been standing with knock knees, with one leg straight and the other resembling rickets. Is there a cure? I consulted the renowned Dr. Ashok Johari, and he said this should improve with time. However, I am still worried
