Osgood-Schlatters diease

does anyone else on here have Osgood-Schlatters diease?

Answer #1

I have it too it got so bad I couldnt even walk up stairs but I was young enough that I didnt mind sittin on my butt and scoochin up the stairs. I have the lumps on my knees also. when I had knee surgery because of a torn acl they shaved one of them down but its back

Answer #2

Yes. It first happened in 7th grade and I still have the bone protusions on my right knee at 27 years old. The Doctor said just to not climb too many stairs (the tendon affected is most used in stair climbing type motion) so I would recommend a different method. It means the tendon is stronger than you bone and is actually pulling the bone out of your leg a bit at a time, enough for it to heal and become a bump. It eventually goes away, but untreated it can take years to leave.
