Just heard of OSD
I have suffered with my "bad knee" since i was 12 yrs old, I am now 37. I have a bad back and my hips are starting to go. I finally went to the dr recently and he has ordered physical therapy. My therapist asked if I had ever been told I had Osgood Schlatter. I had never heard of it, but after all the right questions, she nailed it. I never knew what was wrong with my knee, I just knew I couldn't do all i wanted because of it. I couldn't run, jump, climb stairs or even walk without a limp. I've done a lot of reading up on it and most everywhere mentions "...disease suffered by teens..." "...temporary..." other than those two statements it all applies to me. I seriously hope there is still help out there for me as it is causing extra wear on my other joints, having to compensate for the weakness. I've even been told by drs. that it was in my head and that was discouraging. It's good to at least have a possible name for my problem. I can't wait to see my dr again and discuss this with him.
