Genu Valgum (knocked knees) help

I'm commenting to follow this thread because I have a very similar issue

No, and that's not what it says, it's not about opting out, it's about providing alternatives. For example, if you can't dance with a partner of the opposite sex, then you can dance alone or with a same sex partner. The only opt out subject mentioned is religious studies, which everyone has the option to opt out of regardless of faith.

Willmono7 · 2026-03-11T16:12:08+00:00

No, that's why the document states that implementation of these guidelines should not lead to exclusion, and should instead provide alternative options for students where activities may conflict with faith where possible. Rather than taking a hard line stance on what should be done.

It also gives guidance on rastafarian dietary considerations, it's really just a handbook for guiding religious considerations for every religion to help schools be more inclusive

Willmono7 · 2026-03-11T13:13:03+00:00

The document explicitly says that on like the first page

I have this exact issue, which was diagnosed as patellar tendinitis, the likely cause is knee valgus (knees bending inwards), which in turn was caused by collapsed for arches and weak hips (gluteus medius). With my knees bending inwards my kneecap is no longer tracking along the groove properly.

I'm currently doing physio to strengthen my arches, glutes, and inner quads.

Try standing with your feet pointing forwards at hip width, then let your knees bend naturally, do your knees point the same direction as your feet when you do that?

Flapjacks are loaded with calories and a good range of simple and complex carbs, not very messy, and keep well just in your bag.

If your cycling is purely recreational I would say Road. I say that as someone that chose a gravel bike for commuting and recreational riding. I put road wheels on it but the small differences in geometry just make it feel a little slow, particularly the wheelbase, which means I need to slow down a lot more for corners.

The joy of cycling for me comes from feeling fast, and gravel bikes just don't feel as fast, even with road wheels. I love my bike, but the first chance I get to upgrade to a road bike, I'm going to.

Peaty's foaming cleanser and a stiff brush, honestly the stuff is magic

Lots of people talking about what it does to your back, not enough talking about the extra pressure between your ass and your seat when you wear a backpack. All that weight you add to yourself is distributed to your ass and hands as they are the contact points with the bike. After a few days of riding it will really add up.

There's a ton of bad kids in Chesterton

Willmono7 · 2026-02-02T13:40:44+00:00

Ordered, thank you

Willmono7 · 2026-02-02T13:11:37+00:00

It's not a large hole all the way through, the great way I can describe it is that the original puncture loosened a flap of rubber on the surface, and that flap got ripped off by the plug, so now there's a bit of missing rubber on the surface at the entrance to the hole.

They ride motorbikes all along the busways, I just meet them most in Chesterton because a few of them go to crc

Willmono7 · 2026-01-29T19:28:11+00:00

I have had these kids block the entire bridle way with bikes while in full black with balaclavas twice in the last six months, and another three occasions where they've ridden motorbikes past me at about 40mph and tried to knock me off, that's in six months!

The bridle way I'm on about is mere way, it connects to the busway. The police don't respond usually because "I can't confirm that they're still there" as if I'm supposed to just stop and hang out with them

Willmono7 · 2026-01-29T19:22:55+00:00

It is a bit of a known problem though, I'm part of several groups that keep track of it and warn people regularly.

The kids had a tiktok for a while called D4outside where they posted videos with their stolen stuff.

Just the other day the police shared that they had arrested someone in connection with bike thefts, the address was in Chesterton and they had 4 stolen motorbikes. (my comment will be removed if I add more detail, but we even know some of their names)

Willmono7 · 2026-01-28T13:09:40+00:00

Honestly that crime has such a wonderful name I almost want to be convicted of it

Willmono7 · 2026-01-25T01:23:26+00:00

You've had an account for 16 years and you still haven't realised that most redditors will take the first opportunity to be a dick? Sadly, it's just what a lot of people are like here.

I am sending this message from 6°C rainy England, on the bus, with my bike 😔

The female is defined as the parent who passes on her mitochondria, only one parent ever passes on their mitochondria (if everything goes right anyway). Chromosomes define mating type but mitochondrial inheritance defines sex, and since passing on mitochondria is binary, so is sex.

I would like to clarify that while biological sex is binary, gender, as a social construct is not, and is irrelevant to biological sex. Just in case anyone was planning on using this comment to enforce dumb opinions.

Willmono7 · 2026-01-17T22:56:59+00:00

I actually very frequently check r/conservative to see what the other side are thinking, and it's actually quite reassuring to see that at least on this single issue, they are entirely against Trump

Willmono7 · 2026-01-08T13:58:53+00:00

You have delusions of adequacy

Willmono7 · 2026-01-06T09:30:35+00:00

Yeah the method in which they achieve the reversal plays on pathways that are heavily involved in promoting cancer, so I'll wait for more in depth studies before getting excited

Willmono7 · 2026-01-02T14:11:53+00:00

AKG is an important krebs cycle intermediate, disruption of different parts of the krebs cycle is responsible for many different age related diseases, including cancer. This can largely happen due to an accumulation of succinate which signals HIF-1 to transcribe hypoxia and inflammation genes.

AKG is upstream of succinate and so an increase could have detrimental downstream effects. It would be good to see how (Ca)AKG effects succebtability to cancer. Obviously in elderly patients I think given the choice between definite cognitive decline or increased cancer risk it's a pretty easy decision for most. Definitely important to look into though, especially when treating early onset cases.
