So, its getting warmer and i want to wear (short) shorts and skirts... but the only thing im worried about are my legs
The knees always stick in...and they umm..cramp together? im not sure how to describe it but people have asked me if they were swollen or something
and because of that i always thought my legs were kinda crooked, especially when i stand with my feet together, the sides of my calfs stick out ..
when i walk, sometimes my knees touch..so is that normal?
im not really a "balanced/coordinated" person so maybe that has soemthing to do with it?..but then again i have flat feet

Images of my legs, the top part is cut off becuase it looks normal =], only the bottom part looks weird
sorry, i dont know how to make the images appear right on the forum

So i have links =]

taken ..downwards?
Feet apart
Feet together

taken...not downwards?
Feet apart
Feet together
i dont think the images show it much but it kind of curves like an oval when my feet touch.

back of legs

sorry its confusing

[edit]
I decided that it doesn't matter if my legs are liek this lol, it is just way too hot not to wear shorts in the summertime
no idea this thread was still alive after a year, but it'll be here for anyone thats curious =]
thanks for all the replies =]

My friend is like that, its quite normal.

I notice its more common with girls who start wearing heels at an early age.

[deportedkorean]

when you put your knees together, are your feet touching as well?

if they're not, then you're knock-kneed. nothing you can really do about it except do exercises to stretch the muscle on the outer sides of your knees (tie feet together, stick a light cushion between knees and do squats).

legs are straight if your knees and feet touch each other when standing comfortably.

Pogichinoy: i dont wear heels lol but ive tried them on before, they actually felt comfortable o_O

deportedkorean: um when i put my knees together my feet touch =] but when im standing comfortable my knees dont touch but my feet do.. so that means my legs are crooked? lol =/

[~ BunnyliciouS ~]

it seems you have the O-Shape legs, but not severe (just like 1st 2 pics), your toes are not facing each other

bowl legged ?

i guess its an Asian thing

[viedeluxe]

bowl legged ?

i guess its an Asian thing

Yeah, I guess. My mom told me that babies are usually carried on the mom's back, tied up and everything so often the legs get messed up-- so when I was a baby my mom said she didn't do that and massaged my legs so they would come out straight.

[pepprmint]

i think some ppl call it bow-legged....
i sorta have that, not as much as you, but when i put my knees together my knees-down dont touch, like they kinda curve away from eachother, just slightly.
its very normal, usual hereditary

[Miss Vivienne]

I have 'em too... but I got over the fear and started embracing my asian legs. XD
Lmao. Not all asians have it... but still. Sometimes, I wish I had straight legs but yeah...

Live with what we've got. :/

EDIT: My theory is that asian food doesn't contain enough dairy products... therefore we have the most bone problems. ._.

[x`aNNiie.]

I don't think lacking dairy products leads to this though.
I always had to have ALOT of dairy food and i stilll have these legs.
Not severe though. Yours isn't that bad, i've seen a lot worst.

Yeah, I guess. My mom told me that babies are usually carried on the mom's back, tied up and everything so often the legs get messed up-- so when I was a baby my mom said she didn't do that and massaged my legs so they would come out straight.

my mom told me about how she was so careful when she was carrying me cuz' of that.

[sHiN_sAiKo]

It's not really Asian legs o.o, but I guess most Asian have them.

[tinil-galia]

Your legs looks normal to me.

[xskyi]

I have that and it's crushing my selfesteem more than anything!

I dont know what to do about it beside worrying about it.



Edit:
I want to wear shorts, skirts, dresses etc
but I feel ashamed of them...

[greenti]

well
in korea...
they call that "O" shaped legs..

like go ara has it.. my other korean friend has it..

i dont' know what causes it..its just how the legs are formed

:/

[mallamut]

[pink lemons.]

your legs don't look bow legged to me.
it's kind of like your knee caps are inward, as if you were meant to be pigeon toe'd.
i knew a girl with this same issue.
she went to some sort of physical therapy and her knees are normal now.

[prechuz_azn]

I got that.

Seriously sucks.

[caramele-peech]

i have that but you cant really tell because my calves arent very 'big.' people tend to assume that the 'gap' is from having skinny legs (my thighs are HUGE though)

[k1nkychinky]

hey i have the same thing as you.
i dont think that we can do anything about it, its just the way were shaped. >.<
