Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, if your age is 25, then the chances of growth correcting the deformity is not there, now a days good surgical options in the form of monorail are available which can correct the deformity.
it would have been useful if you would have mentioned the amount in degree of the deformity, so consult an ortho surgeon, and get them corrected, this will also prevent early onset of arthritis in the joints
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
I find this answer helpful
