@areyu93 and if it was a removal of the actual lump, how did they do it? im guessing they cut downward through the tendon to access the lump and then shaved it off or something?

hey buddy was this a removal of the actual lump?
I am 18 and my osgood healed up 2 years ago, but of course it left those sharp lumps in both knees. I cannot kneel and i refuse to be this way for the rest of my life.
Im hoping my health insurance will cover it but i have enough money saved if they dont. i wont to be finally rid of this bullshit.

Hey, good job on posting these videos. I don't know why the doctors try to discourage people from having the operation because in my experience it fixed the problem when nothing else ever did. Of course I had to wait until I had finished growing before they would even consider it but even then they were hesitant about doing it. Now I can run and squat and finally do sport again after almost 10 years. It's just unfortunate for those sporty kids and teenagers that there isn't a quick fix.

@LittleBrightLED Scar tissue. It's going away veeerry slowly. Doc said it would take 6 months or even longer to go away completely.

Why is the bump still there?

@ekdahl67 I got off the crutches after 2 weeks, but I would say 3 weeks until I could walk fairly normally.
Best of luck for you.
I'm thinking about moving to Canada so i could get the free surgery.... 10 years of this is too much

@trulysick86 Just go to Turkey or some other place. It's only <$5K there, which is reasonable.
It's not free here. You pay ridiculous prices for EVERYTHING, in addition to stupidly high taxes.

@MrEuler0 I'm in Canada, so that's included in my taxes. The taxes are high, so it's a lot. Probably over $5K.
