My son is 6'11" at 16 and had OS. Followed a program from some therapists in Australia and is now recovered with no bump or pain. The key treatment is lots and lots of foam rolling, along with some specific stretches. Core advantage was the name of the program I think.
"Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."
I am 21 and I think I have this problem. My left knee has a bump a little bit larger than my right knee. It doesn't hurt but only hurts if I stand on my knees. Will it go by itself?
I was diagnosed with this disease as a child, in both knees. The doctors said that I would grow out of it. After a 20 year military career, I can definitely say I'm not affected by it anymore, other than both knees being a bit pointed.
You are lucky I am 45 and it has sevrely affected both of my knees and oddly only gets worse the older I get. My only option now is surgery. I am also far more prone to kneee injury because of it and is still very painful.
@@theo1893 I'm not sure if I am getting it or not. I am going to discuss it yet again with another surgeon. The consensus seems to be that this isn't a normal surgery yet my pain and the way it hinders me isn't normal either lol. Thanks for the kind words either way
I have been dealing with OS since I was about 12 years old and I am now 33. It's on the left knee and I have developed a pretty big bump due to the OS. Very very painful.
I had it and was left with a very significant bump especially on one knee over the other. Any kneeling is very uncomfortable still and I'm in my 50s. My son also inherited.
Same here. 56 years old with a 3/4” long hard ridge bump below my left knee cap. And there is no way to put any weight on that area of my knees without unbearable pain. Several people have mentioned having surgery to shave it off. I just wonder if it really alleviates the pain.
Left Knee as well. Got it when I was 9-10 yrs and thought I had fractured my knee but it wasn't painful unless I kneeled on it. Am now 31 and have a noticeable knob on my knee. I have learned to rotate slightly when I kneel so that I am on the outer muscle of the calf rather than the actual knee. My other knee has dried out from compensating for the OS Left Knee. I hear crackle every-time I stand up now.
I have this, the tendon actually pulled the bone up, like peeling a can. After years in the military, it has never healed. Always in pain but stretching helps.
Hi, I had to stop ballet at 12 because of knee pain. I can't read what my Dr wrote down because his writing was so bad but it could say this. Later I was told I have hypermobility. At 42 my knees and hips are getting really bad now.
I'm almost 44 and it comes and goes. Lately it's flared up very badly. My quads and calf on my right leg are very tight and I can't figure out how to stretch my quads. Whenever I bend my knee 50 degrees+, the pain gets bad. How do I stretch my legs without straining my tendons below my knee? Thank you
Hi I am training as a dancer and have OSD at my right knee. I am 26, the pain was strong as a teenager, now most of the symptoms are gone but its still visible and hurts when I accidentaly bump my knee. I notice pain when I sit or fall on my knees and when I do the splits when the back foot is the one with OSD. Is it ok for me to do these things?
@@Alpha_Rigel_Cassiopeia it’s gone! I don’t have the pain anymore and I can run and jump fine, my athleticism did take a hit though because I’m not as explosive as I was before, but still good enough. I did some stretches I found on TH-cam for as good schlatters and it was ent away quick.
Used to have in my left knee for a year now it's developing in my right knee I play all sports year round im talking two leagues at the same time aau and school and then summer any advice for me to get rid of it permanently?
Bob amd Brad I have very serious Osgood Schlatters.....I am 45 and both of my knees never went back to normal and suregry has been talked about ad I have seen 3 different surgeons. I am still looking for relief as it only seems to get worse with age.
@@tarunbhuckal5012 My knees still have the big huge bump on them that never went away. I don't think laser or acupuncture would really work. What does laser therapy include?
@@glennnichols4220 Laser is part of physiotherapy. It helps to reduce pain and swelling. But it can not reduce your huge bump. Acupuncture helps to reduce pain.
@@tarunbhuckal5012 If it is permanent that would be awesome I would def try it. I certainly could use some relief. Working out my legs is def difficult and one wrong move and bam it is pretty easy to blow it out.
@@glennnichols4220 No treatment is permanent . But yes it should give you relief for long time. And do focus on warm up before exercises and cool down after exercises. All the best.
@@artsygal112 I'm not sure, but what I noticed is that I was home quarantining for a while like 6-8 months, during which I put on some extra weight and wasn't physically active. I then started playing pick up basketball everyday and after 2 weeks I noticed a hard bump below my knee. I took some time off, went back to playing basketball and it got worse. I then researched this problem, started stretching and doing leg exercises, it got better. Now I can play basketball for like an 1 hour and then the pain starts, its a little annoying but the pain is manageable.
@@artsygal112 so true.I'm 24 years old.diagnosed at 12.in so much pain.with RLS on top of it.it hurts bad.I bike stretch swim rub icy hot getting knee injections soon
@@arifullashaikMAGIC my pain is intolerable severe chronic pain throbs at night.right now I'm going thru he'll my thighs knee nerves are bouncing EVERYWHERE
Me too but I just figured out i still have it as I started playing sports again and being more active and now I’m happy I have it at 17 🤣🤣🤣 still growing 💯
I'm 50+ had it all my life. Facts from my own experience(I have the most extreme condition, both knee protrudes over an 1" when sitting). a.) Doesn't go away. Not a temporary "fluid/imflammation". Calcium doesn't dissolve away. b.) Grow during teen years. STOP whatever sport you are dong. You're a teen. You care more about looks, right? If you're olympic, NBA bound? Hire a sports medicine therapist. c.) Surgery looks nice. To cut, shave and re-attach ligament that anchors the quadricep ligament to the tibia = never as STRONG as the original joint. d.) Again, looks nice, but athlete's I don't have to tell you weak quadricep ligament = low performance. Unless, you are a teenager. e.) Of course, it's going to hurt when you kneel down. Ever kneel down on your elbow with your full weight on it. Duh. Don't ever kneel down without a knee pad. f.) If you ever fall on the "point" of your OSG knee's it's like falling on the point of your elbow. Yes, it will hurt, swell, and incapacitate you from bending your knee for a week to a month.
@@glennnichols4220 Just to highlight on the positive side. I've run almost 50 marathons in my life and weight train continuously(or rather doing shoulder rehab). You have to be careful on the leg extension machine, and when doing the squat be very aware of the technique. Notice I didn't mention "proper technique". It's whatever technique is logical and works and doesn't cause pain(during or after). My OS knee's tend to force me to use more glutes/lower back motion. Also, any "quick motion" will cause stress and pain at the OS area. Something I have to be careful when riding my unicycle, which requires involuntary rapid motion sometimes.
@@trexinvert Well I am glad you have positives with OS. I don't see any benefits of having it. Yes there are certainly ways of squating that I have to use different muscles also leg presses bother me a lot. My right leg also having the OS caused my knee to be crooked amd therefore my leg is not straight either which causes a lot of issues. To bad when we were kids we didn't know any better on the right way to deal with this.
@@glennnichols4220 I remember my doctor telling me some kids would end up with "cast" on their legs to prevent them from playing sports. I could have used that, but would hated it. I think it was from my playing tennis that aggravated the O.S. It requires some explosive motion not unlike basketball or football without the physical contact. I look at my O.S. condition as just a specific weakness that must be carefully watched. Just like when I was training for marathons I always paid attention to pain during/after/next day conditions. Never follow the 80's "no pain no gain motto". In the gym, always control the range of motion, resistance, and frequency of exercise with feedback from your body. As an older person, flexibility/stretching and joint usage need also be minded...if not more than the workouts.

I developed this when I was 12. Just turned 50 and it still bothers me sometimes. Had lots of therapy on it but I never outgrew it. 🤷
Would like to see a Knee Playlist here on TH-cam to watch them all:)
I have been dealing with OS since I was about 12 years old and I am now 33. It's on the left knee and I have developed a pretty big bump due to the OS. Very very painful.
I have the bump but it's not painful I'm 34. It does minimize the amount of physical activity I can do though.
Had it as a kid. Was very painful then. I have a huge bone bump now on left knee. Not painful but strange looking.
I had it and was left with a very significant bump especially on one knee over the other. Any kneeling is very uncomfortable still and I'm in my 50s. My son also inherited.

Same here. Left knee. Played basketball as a teen.
Me, my dad, and my grandpa each have it and have it through our teen age and past it, definitely has some genetic relation to it
Left Knee as well. Got it when I was 9-10 yrs and thought I had fractured my knee but it wasn't painful unless I kneeled on it. Am now 31 and have a noticeable knob on my knee. I have learned to rotate slightly when I kneel so that I am on the outer muscle of the calf rather than the actual knee. My other knee has dried out from compensating for the OS Left Knee.

I’ve dealt with it for 4 years and it’s killing me I can’t sleep and I have extreme pain every day.
Sir, I’m 50 and I got it. Painful to the touch but it doesn’t inhibit me from excercise.
I turned 18 and it started hurting around may this year it went away while playing with the pain rested 1 week then pain again awa fil
Whenever I do exercises to strengthen my thigh my knee bump gets very sore. Why is this?

Thank you
Why does laying on my stomach reduce back pain? Nerve specifically and pressure on tailbone 🤔
Thank you gentlemen!!!
I used to have this....SOooooOooOo painful!

It's associated with a growth spur. Have u seen urself growing? Boys have been known to have growth spurts even into their 20s.
