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 😅

if you have this and have fallen on your knees you know the pain

I know im not the only one but how many others have wished they could just cut there knee open and dig it out

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

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.

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

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.

Yeah bumping your knee with this was unbelievable, had it for ages but never understood but now know how that big bone bump has formed, pretty interesting

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.

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 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

Thank you so much I am GP and it helps me a lot

Some of the worst pain ever. Silk sheets would touch my knees and i would scream in agony.

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.

Great video!!!!

I was diagnosed at 15 and had 6 months rest without any sports, the day I got diagnosed I was gonna pay for my trip to Barcelona for a football tournament, but I had to back out, before that I was in a football club and was top scorer In both tournaments I played

Well I just won the lottery. Im over 40, and both my knees have this thing. I recently began working out, and now this. I literally just had a tumor removed a few days ago. Getting kind of tired of my body wanting to not be alive.

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. '___'

had this shit when I was 12 now i’m 14 and have no more pain 💪

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.

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.

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.

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.

Helpful thankyou

Thanks to Osgood-Schlatters condition in my youth, I have unsightly lumps below my knees that make kneeling too painful unless i use a cushion.

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 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.

95% sure this is what I have and im almost 30. My left knee has a crazy calloused bump below the tendon, and it only hurts when I engage it during my workouts. Squatting weight and kneeling sucks too. I think for some, surgery might be the only thing to relieve it.

I’ve hit the bump directly on the corner of a hard wooden bed frame and pulled a Peter Griffin

I have this and thought it was genetic since I had it as long as I could remember. My dad has it too. In fact it causes no pain whatsoever. I guess I don't have to worry about it, I weight lift fine and I don't have knee pain. Was just curious and looking up to see if other people have the boney part sticking under their knees.

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.

New information 🙂

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.

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.

Hmm finally this is probably what I had during those period. It suddenly went away and my tibial tuberosity is huge.

Also on spinal cord injury

Can u Please share a video on myelopathy, radiculopathy, UMNL-LMNL, PLID

I'm 34 and have had it in both knees for about 20 years. Hate kneeling now

I got it aged 13. I'm 50 now and it's still tender

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.

I currently have OsgoodSchlatters and was diagnosed when I was 13. I’ve had it for nearly 2 years now despite my efforts to remove it using a foam roller and knee strengthening. I am 15 and don’t want to stop playing sports/ lifting to stop the pain but if I did I would be sacrificing my chances of getting on any team and it would have bad effects elsewhere since I wouldn’t be able to run. Fucking sucks

I am 14 a year ago while I was runing in ground i suddenly stopped and I suddenly felt pain below my knee back then I didn't know about this disease so I left it to heal on its own and it's a hard bump on my knee that hurts when some thing bumps in to or while bending the knee or knee down

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

Why didnt i find this 1 year ago? My knee was hurting so bad that i couldnt run jump for like 10 months. My knee hurt 24/7 then it went away and it came back again when i had to train jumping from place.

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.

When I was in 9th grade I was playing basketball when I went up for a dunk and when I came down, I fell to the floor. I looked at my leg and my kneecap was in my thigh. The tendon pulled off a part of my shin.

i have it in myleft knee,only noticed it in the bath earlier,its not painful but it feels like the bone right under the skin

Hey please answer I have a real concern now because I think I might have a complete avulsion fracture with zero pain going on 5 years with it I have a lump that I can wiggle around right below my knee as shown in the video but it moves freely but again painlessly let me know what you think please

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?

I had this while in cross country running. Needless to say, it hurt

Damn having this in 31 is sucks. The tender part is really hurt in one point, you have to tapping or put knee brace for every action sports. 😂

How can I manage the pain or make it easier

I'm 22 and i have these, playing basketball daily just strapping it right above the tendon. It helps and it's getting better.

I have these on both legs. My lumps are big and hurt. I'm a middle aged man and not sure what can be done.

I currently have this pretty bad, ever since I was around 12.5yr it started and just got worse and worse. I’m 14.5 now and it’s so bad I can’t do my main sport parkour, and weightlifting for football like squats cause pain :/

How long does it take to heal?

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

I have the lump but dosnt hurt at all, its hurt me for 1 month but then the pain dissepeared no clue why but my carrer is still alive now

Does this increase the chances of a tear in the ligament holding knee all together ?? Because it feels more fragile and prevents me from doing my workouts such as squats which when i do it feels like its about to be ripped apart (talking about the ACL and the patellar tendon )

Until The Invention Of The Internet I Had Never Seen Anyone Else With O.S.D. I Was A Young Lad Doing Activities (Just Like Everyone Else), Until I Noticed Two Lumps Appear Under My Knee Caps At The Age Of 15, Afraid Of Doctor's & Hospitals I Just Continued My Teenage Year's Until I Finally Went To The Doctor's Who Told Me What It Was! 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?!!

Hello, I had Osgood Schlatter when I was a kid 20 years ago, I do have the hard bony lump remaining. I would say I have completely healed as my knees are healthy, but any kneeling that I do is painful due to the entire weight pressing on the tinny lump. Are there any recomendations what to do in such a case? We still have to kneel in places like church or during exercise, any recomendations?

im 30 years old, was first diagnosed at 11 or 12, and have always had chronic pain in my knee. however i went in and got x-rays of mine recently, and theres a clear avulsion fracture, the surgeon i was reffered to suggested physical therapy to "strenghten" my tendon. however i cannot straighten my knee without being in extreme pain and its difficult to even bend my knee to get in a vehicle or climb stairs.. should i get a second opinion?

Sadly I learned to take care of my knees too late I had an tibia tubrical fracture

Fell on my knees and got this lump in my 40s wish it wasnt permanent…

Can this disease is also found in male of 50 years ..my father has same pain below his knees

So when your doctor and rheumatologist say it's this, BUT it started to form in my mid 30s and I was not into sports or physical activities. It's still getting bigger 20 years later to where gettingbon my knees is painful as I'm kneeling on the hard, bony lumps. It's also exactly where the inherited psoriasis is on my leg. My doctor's are lazy and don't really look or care to see if it is or not. I'm now in my 50s

I am 13 and have osgood schlatter and I have a decently big bump what should I do it has been 3 months since I have osgood schlatter and the bump isn't gone
