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.

I’ve had this since I was around 10. I’m now 38 and today it’s agony as I knocked the ‘lump’ yesterday. This is by far the best explanation I’ve heard in those 28 years! Thank you as I always accepted the condition but couldn’t explain it to anyone 😅

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.

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

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.

I’m 25 now and I believe I have this because I’ve had all these symptoms and the lump in that position for the past 8 years and continue to, to this day.

3:24 - I have this rare complication. I finally had surgery when I was 33 and they removed a piece of bone a little larger than a golf ball. I still have a massive lump in my knee and my patellar tendon is filled with bone fragments that can't be removed without causing serious damage to the tendon. My knee has been in pain for over 25 years. This video mentions that the pain/symptoms go away with time. It's still incredibly tender and painful to touch. When it's really bad it keeps me from sleeping. If I try to jog or do a leg workout the pain in my knee is debilitating for a few weeks. It feels like it gets worse as I get older. My doctor told me to swim, but the pressure from just being in the water is pretty painful. I've accepted this is my lot in life, but I always wonder how far I could have gone in sports if I had a healthy knee.

This is the worst thing ever. Makes you way slower if you play sports & you never can recover from it

Had this when I was 19 and it was terrible - couldn't squat beyond parallel without crazy pain and any knock onto the area caused so much pain. Thankfully the pain went away after a few months.

One thing ive found is that in general isometrics have seemed to help me a lot.

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. '___'

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.

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

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.

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.

i play rugby and football and this definitely effects my play- warmups and conditioning can be draining but doing swim can be a good alternative to good conditioning without pulling and straining any ligaments

I am 40 and scheduled for surgery on my left knee (got my right knee done a few years back). This disease has plagued me all my life though pain intensity has ebbed and flowed. I cannot kneel, interfered with all of my sports activities and general day to day life. I’m hoping once my operation is done I will be rid of it for good but still a few months away that I have to carry this pain around. I feel for anyone who has this and I think once you have finished growing, if you find it hurts get it checked out again - it may need surgery as in my case as the tendon has caused minor avulsions and loose bone fragments which need removing (that’s where the pain comes from!). Good luck everyone who has this
