Hi. I was diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter`a disease. I was told to rest and they gave me some pain killers. However, my disease is advancing. The pain I feel is now chronic. What to do? What is the cause of this illness?

Hi. I was diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter`s disease too. Experts say Osgood Schlatter`s disease is caused by microtrauma that happens before the complete maturity of the anterior tibial tubercle attachment. My both knees hurt and I feel tenderness below them. This tenderness is worse when pressure is applied. Treatment includes rest, ice and painkillers. Osgood Schlatter`s disease usually disappears with such treatment. However, sometimes, the affected leg may be immobilized. This will take 2 months. Surgeries are rarely needed, only if the initial treatment fails. Complications of Osgood Schlatter`s disease include chronic pain.

Painkillers and don't put to much stress on it, thats all we can do.
In reality it is a very common thing, usually happening in teenage boys. It goes away when the bones finish growing. Then again, I was diagnosed in 1999, (I did a lot of gymnastics as a child, which was probably what set it off) I was 9 then, It still hasn't gone away 8 years later!
