Osgood-Schlatter Health Byte

[musicisalwayslife97]

I am a fourteen year old girl that has stopped growing and has mild OSD and severe patellar tendonitis. Any tips?

[PaPaSiDD1189]

i have it to, i think i got it from playing hockey. I dont think i can wrap anything around it because im a goalie and constantly moving!

[colaventprune]

@PaPaSiDD1189 have a athletic trainer? he should know what to do if you don't then put something on your knee like a elastic brace or bands rolled up on the bumps. Also resting and not doing any thing running wise for a month could stop it. If it countinues you might need to get sergery to grind the bumps down.

[wikatormessi]

got it !!!!its so sucks :((( they can make soem medicine for it :P

[Leopad412]

I have osgood-schlatter

[OctaneBOMS]

do what he said, it helps. but also strap a tight band around the bump, reduces the swelling and makes it less painful when running, jumping and squatting.

[MrSuperbluehobo]

i have O.S. and i skateboard. sometimes u just have to take a day off and stretch, rest, and ice it. it always works for me! try it

[360mile]

i have osgood schlatter since i was 12-13 and i'm now 15. i play handball which means lots of running and jumping. i have tried using straps and now i got a new knee protector but they dont seem to help. does anyone has suggestions on how to treat it? because i cant rest, the game is a big part of my life.

[911sanitarium]

[Spam5260]

Guys buy knee straps the pain goes away when you play sports believe me I hade it since 11 years old and my doctor told me to buy some for the pain to go away

[Rob7194]

I have Osgood-Schlatter every-time I go some where people look at me like I pooped my pants but most of the time I dont.

[Deathugee]

I'm 24 and still have a lot of pain with my knee due to OS.

[titomaxe]

[OhFlOrKiTsDoM]

he says to stretch your quad, but the stretching of the quad is what cause osgood...

[elikanmic]

[d123420]

[steveoooo00]

[matinlutekingejes123]

I had it for like 2,5 jears and than i had to go in churgirie so be careful !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Soundofstereos]

I've had it for around 6 months now. Apparently a friend of mine had it for 24 months.

[7JDH7NL7]

[Zyrog]

i had it for a few years when i was younger. hurts really bad.

[hockeymonsta69]

[th3toiletguy9111111]

@hockeymonsta69  almost 7 years for me

[joanna111222333444]

i have it and i am not an athlete....... i hate sports

[tazzvato111]

im 18 and iv had it since i was 14 the doctor told me it will go away by it self when i stop growing but i still have it

[Om5686]

I had severe case of osd and i am not 24 and it is very mild, knee cracks now and then but its not so bad. The only bad part is when i bump my knee into something.... the pain is immense!

[Om5686]

@Om5686 Now*

[Om5686]

@Om5686 Oh and i can not kneel or sit on my knees for the life of me.

[LeeTheHowee]

@Om5686 yeh its so sensitive :| if i tap it its reely sore

[gunguy009]

I have this and its not that bad for me. i was diagnosed with it when i was 9 or so, but it hasnt caused many problems for me

[bribiesurf8]

Just thought I would let you all know that OS can continue to cause problems as an adult. I was diagnosed with OS at 10 yrs old. I am now 30 and have just had some new x-rays taken of my right knee. The bump caused from my OS is giving me a lot of trouble. It constantly hurts like it did when I was 10. I can't kneel on it or touch it without more pain and my knee is very unstable. Doctors are looking to have my "lump" surgicaly removed. OS can still cause problems in adults. FACT!

[sweetheartthuong]

what if u have it on both knees o.o

[Jop3lius]

@sweetheartthuong

ofcourse it is on both knees, do you except your other leg grow faster than other? it is on both legs and ive had it about 6 years for now, doesnt hurt anymore but its hard to go down or stay on my knees because all my weight is focused on those "things" :)

[whitsoxdude]

@Jop3lius I have it on one knee.

[Jop3lius]

@whitsoxdude

well sorry, didn't know it can be also like that, because i tough its caused by growing and athletic life so didn't except it come to only 1 knee. guess its possible then

[smartman5976]

i was at the doctor and he said that it will go away when im 18......im 13 right now.

[REDBULLISNOBULLSHIT]

I have sclatter it's not fun.

should i rest or just keep going ?:/

sorry for the english

[unclejelytot4321]

ive got this and im 14 its really annoying cause it prevents me from playing football

[strix60]

This condition CAN be treated so that you can recover in an average of 3 weeks. Check out the 'Strickland protocol' if you don't want to wait and grow out of it - in 1-2 years.

[skullkid4900]

I've had this for four years now.. In the beginning it hurt like hell. But now, i just don't feel anything. (Although, the disease is still there (Both Knees))

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

i cant even kneel with this disease

[multipwnd101]

idk how to diagnose the symptoms it just hurts when i do squats and play soccer i think it might be this disease but im not entirely sure =/

[murtillon]

@multipwnd101 hey man i just went to the doctor and i have it and u might just put tape on where the bump is it prevents from hurting and take 2 advils

[DwyaneWadeCounty]

I have a visible lump on my top left shin bone(just below the patellar tendon) since 3-years-ago. The pain from it isn't as bad as when it first started, but it's still an annoying discomfort when I play sports. All this started when I was playing long, intense bball. Does this means that I have this disease? I also had a lump on right knee but it disappeared and and it isn't as painful as my left knee.

[murtillon]

@DwyaneWadeCounty dude its not a disese its a symptomn

[Travz91]

it NEVER goes away.

im being serious ive had an op and everthing =[

[crazeycraig]

I also have the same problem. I was having growth spurts in the legs and it was causing my hamstrings to be very tight. I had to go to physical therapy for 3 months.

[fff7224]

no it`s not stop growing at all

it`s just caused by strong pull of thigh muscles during running or basketball

so in this condition u need to rest ur knees don`t play anymore and the pain well sup said by himself

[ibraydon]

my bump is like a inch up :( its almost gone

[StillBalla]

ah QUESTION : i play basketball 5 times a weak DO YOU THINK MY OSGOOD SCHLATTER IS GOIN AWAY WHEN IM ADULT ???????? evej if i keep on playin ???? plzz respond plz

[mikhaldinho]

well i ive had osd for about 1 year and a half and im only 16....but it depends how old r u once u stop growing the pain should not be as bad when it began when u wer young.

[fff7224]

the treatment of this disease is rest

no need any medication just stay home and if the pain gone u need to strength the thigh muscle

[Norwegianguy94]

going to the doctor because you have sclatters is a waste of money.... it goes away after 2-4 years.

[41kahn1]

when we went, the doc just gave us some advice and a perscription drug and it didnt cost us anything :)

[LKfighter100]

[41kahn1]

[agnessz1]
