  • 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.

  • how much did it cost you

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

  • @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.

  • @IvanAndreevich

    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.
