This disease has caused me a huge deal of pain, both physical and psychological. Around 8th grade I have always been in a class with guys 1-5 years older than I was. I had this injury, and whenever I complained about it to my family or PE teacher I would always be mocked and be told to just man it up, and that I was just making an excuse because I wasn't as fast as my classmates. This has affected my self-esteem and confidence for a long time. I have only discovered that this is in fact a real thing last year at 25. Prayers to anyone who suffered from this.

[@Pushawaydaground]

I had to try to run and jump with it in P.E test i would never get a 10/10. And i have to do it again 🥲

[@tabithaflores2136]

I’ve had this disease since I was 10. I’m about to turn 20 in about 3 months, so I have had the bump for about a decade. When I first got it, it was painful. Now there is not much pain anymore. It hurts a little when I have my knees bent for a while or when I stand up for a while as well.

[@sRk-37]

How can we treat it

[@claudiacruz2410]

How long did it take the get better?

[@RaysDad]

I was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter when I was 14. I had minor overall knee soreness that felt like an interior ligament strain. My doctor made the diagnosis based on the hard bone bump, though the bump wasn't painful or sore at all. Treatment consisted solely of immobilizing the knee for 3 months with a groin-to-ankle cast. I just palpated my knees and I can't tell which one once had Osgood-Schlatter. The bump is gone.

[@vincentharris110]

I think I have Osgood-Schlatter but I haven't been diagnosed, it first started with a lot of pain but now I'm 18 and it is just a large bump with no pain, the skin on the bump is more thick than the skin around it

[@Red_dog11]

Same I have it in both knees rn

[@djuliangarrett769]

Yeah. It is annoying for me.

[@aaravsaggar7574]

I'm 15 years old and I just had an avulsion fracture about 6 weeks ago, had surgery, and was put in a full leg cast for 6 weeks. The doctor said it will take a full year to make a recovery and return back to high level sports (I play basketball). I just got the cast off and I am in a brace, with the doctor saying I will be able to walk in an additional 2-3 months. The worst part is being in crutches this entire time, you can't do anything and school/everyday activities are so difficult. To anyone with knee pain or osgood-schlatters, I warn you that playing through the pain can cause you to entirely have to stop playing for a very long time. I wish I could've told myself this a few months ago. I recommend you guys to completely wait until your growthspurt is over and you're growth plates have closed (you can check this with your doctor), to keep playing.

[@tayloredrhythm3085]

For those asking when is the lump going to go away. The answer is never. The bone has formed that way. It will become painless for the most part and doesn’t require any treatment. I currently has osgood schlatter and it sucks

[@PeterFunny617]

it can be removed surgically

[@aleksisgrasis8463]

@@PeterFunny617 yes but there is no real need to complicate your biology by a procedure that majorly only changes the looks of the knee. In the standard case of people OSD any kind of discomfort and knee weakness arises from your history of limited knee-strength training and can be improved in any number of ways (tailored training program/physio). The biggest challenges you might run in with your knee lump is not being able to sit on your legs as comfortably as others and having an easier time bumping into stuff with your knee. None of the outlined aspects should compel for surgical removal.

[@snappertrx]

Was diagnosed with this at age 11. Now age 48 and it has made me miserable my entire life. I still participate in physical activities because I like spending time with my family, but I always end up paying for it later. I guess I'm a case where the pain never goes away, because it's always there.

[@leoschmik8349]

i have had both knees like this for 10 years. it is as bad as it's ever been. worst part is people don't believe how bad it is and expect me to perform as they do regardless. currently unable to walk and expected to come into manual labour job. i have a doctors appointment, hopefully this one is more useful than the past ones.

[@NappyZoeRebel]

Great video!!!!

[@johnnydanger6049]

I got this knee disease when I was 10 and me and my parents always thought it was temporally so I tried to live as a normal boy while playing some sports but by the time I was 15 and I could barely walk up stairs and needed correctional surgeries to walk without a cane / crutch and now fast forward to 31 I've had 6 total knee surgeries and still have bad arthritis and have never been able to live without pain medicine. I have bad knee pain every day all day and have problems walking still and it cause my quality of life to be really poor and can not find any doctor I can afford that knows enough or cares enough to find a solution besides total knee replacement which I can't find any doctor to do it.

[@anonymous_girl2367]

Helpful thankyou

[@frankshameful3568]

I was 13 when mine flared up for the first time. The lumps on my knees have stayed and don’t really bother me much until I need to kneel down. And even then they’ll just pop. They’re fine if I can find a way to kneel where I’m not directly putting my body weight on the actual lump. Did tile for about a year like this. You can get them removed but that looks painful.

[@leemarkwick7344]

I was diagnosed this when I was 13 in both legs but much worse in my left leg. I’m now 51 and I still get pain now & then in my left leg. I’m 6’4” and I was told it’s more common in tall males. I also saw an old UK interview of Christopher Reeve who said he had this as well. I remember being told by Doctors to put a support bandage on it but this made it far worse.

[@byronspoon6797]

Yeah I'm 6"3 and now 37, they thought it was growing pains until diagnosed by a specialist, still can't do squats at gym or let anyone touch my knees but cycling and swimming have helped, bandages dont help and I did athletics all through it to nationals now my knees are destroyed. Parents, teachers, and sports coaches need more awareness of this condition.

[@TaxistGeviskon]

I lived in a poor area so the doctors were accordingly bad. Even after x-ray they had no idea what was the problem. But I think I understand what’s the issue. It began when I was 13 years old. I’ve noticed that after another day at my judo school. Not going to lie, it kinda ruined my dreams. And it was difficult to do any sports for a couple of years. Now I’m 27 and it feels like it doesn’t affect my life. But sometimes I feel like my shins bones are too thin. After I run my legs hurt.

Long car journey, long flights with restricted leg room I found were the worst growing up. Now 32 I only get slight pains kneeling I always have to re-position

[@mustafaosrof5127]

hi, I hAve been diagnosed with osgood schlatter since I was 13. I have it in both knees and it is a very very annoying sensitive area. Only touching it causes major pain. I can’t bend over or sit legs crossed or even bend my knee without having to deal with major knee pain. I was always told it’ll pass with time. Almost ten years later I stayed with the same disabilities and stronger pain. My legs keep hurting me badly and whenever I do sports or even go up the stairs or anything at all. I feel like It’s amputated. So I decided to get a surgery. 2 years after the surgery, I still feel the exact same pain with added extra pain from the surgery. I now feel pressure in my knee every 3 minutes and I have to crack my knee for the stress in my joints to free. It happens to me every couple of minutes and I need to crack my knee multiple times one after the other until I relieve all the tension and it gathers tension again in less that a minute. I’m very confused and no doctor can help me. They all say I’m fine. Does someone know / experienced this sort of thing?? I really need help because I can no longer bare the pain and stress it’s making me. I need to bend my leg every minute to get a good strong crack to relax. I have it in both knees but I only did surgery in one and I’m really sad I did it because I’m really strict in moving my legs. I can’t bend down on the ground. I’ll need someone to lift me up and I lose feeling of moving my knees for a minute but I still feel constant pain

[@cole.s1442]

Hello. I also had pretty bad osgood schlatters and crecently got surgery. in my rehab, ive been doing lightweight backwards sled dragging. I HIGHLY recommend this. what you need to do is strengthen the patella tendon as much as possible while also strengthening the areas around the knee. also, if you end up deciding to get surgery again, i would MAKE SURE the surgeon has performed this surgery many, many times on high level athletes. that's the only type of surgeon i would trust for this

[@artandcraftwithgurshaan4433]

Bro scared the shit out of me

[@waelfadlallah8939]

New information 🙂

[@AbsintheReverie]

I was a very sporty kid growing up so I ended up with this condition at 11 years old. I tried to continue playing sport but it was too painful so I had to give up. The doctors said the pain would go away as I grew up but it never did. They said there was a surgery to fix it but wouldn't let me get it done until I was fully grown. So at 21 I had the surgery and although I still have a bump on my knee, it is not as big and I no longer get pain. I got back into sport for another 10 years and now have pain due to a different condition. I'm not sure if the OS could have caused it or I am just unlucky.

[@GoweserBaru]

did the NEW pain located on the same knee after surgery??

[@tammynorton5038]

I just found I had osgood Schlatter disease. I’m 14 and I hit a big growth spurt so my body couldn’t keep up with my knee and the doctor said it should go away in a couple of months with a knee brace and physical therapy afterwards.

I'm female and I have this. I was diagnosed when I was 10 because I had constant pain but they could only find my knee had an issue. I really wish people in my personal life will finally acknowledge how terrible this is. The pain has never gone away since I was diagnosed and my relatives think it'll go away if I do sports since some person online said it was caused my lack of movement. My condition has slowly worsened a bit more due to sports and no one believes that I physically can't run faster without my knee hurting and me potentially falling flat on my face (I ran as quick as everyone else and my knee flared up so I fell while also twisting my leg a bit weird because of my knee). This video is very well done. I hate this condition and the spread of false information with this condition. '___'

[@lordpraisestone8314]

I am 20 now, and had a lump like this for other 10 years now, after initially developing the problems when playing football. Now I never have specific pain in the lump or around it anymore, however I can't kneel down onto the knee/lump because this creates a lot of pain. My question is, is it at this stage only a problem of not being accustomed to kneeling down anymore having not done it in over a decade on harder ground, or could it be that it still didn't fully heal? Has anyone had similar experiences like me and found an answer to this question?

[@Napoleon_dynamite]

[@chelsealatch2079]

what happens if it has like half of a fracture but hasn’t broken all the way off

[@WavyWaeYT]

I had this. Yea it’s basically just the tendon being stronger than the growth plate, so physical activity aggravates and causes micro fracture at the bone. It should go away when ur done growing but that excess bump will still remain. Sometimes the pain doesn’t leave even into adulthood, and is theorized to be bc micro pierces of bone get inside the tendon. I actually suffered a fracture due to osgoodschlatter. Perhaps my surgery prevented it from staying a problem.

Over The (Painful) Years My Doctor Said There Is Nothing We Can Do, To Get Rid Of The Lumps! Over The Years Since Discovering That, I Had To Just Grin & Bare O.S.D. I Had Never, Ever, Seen Anyone Else With This Horrible Disease, (I Got By, Over The Years Telling Myself There Are More People With Worse Disabilities)! But O.S.D. Has Caused Me Displeasure, Grief, Ruined Certain Activities In My Life! To Young People Go To Your Doctor With Your Parents If You Feel Lumps (O.S.D) Under Knee(A.s.a.p.)! My Final Point,(Sorry To All, For A Long Comment), But "Why" Did "Mother Nature" Decide To Give Certain People This Discease? Why?!!
