Who has this? Im 16 and I have it in both knees. Its pretty shitty and I do Physio and Acupuncture to help it ( acupuncture works wonders by the way).

Just curious about how many NSers have it and how do you treat it?

Here is a description- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood-Schlatter_disease

I had it about 1 year a couple of seasons ago. It was literally debilitating.

I have a friend who's had it for years. He's an amazing Rugby player, but spends most of his playing time in a lot of pain

havent been diagnosed, but i know i have it. always been a problem. when i played baseball as a kid, i couldnt even be the catcher (crouch). in middle school, banged up against a table or desk, hurt like hell.  Any sport now, still a problem, but its better than before.  I still have a problem with kneeling on the floor. I cant do that at all.

I never had Osgood-Schlatter's but I did get tendinitis in my knees and my right ankle. Fucking sucked, and after every dryland sesh for hockey and practice I limped. With stretching the pain is virtually gone but it returns every time it gets cold.

i had it and didn't treat it. i just had it in my left knee. even to this day i think i have a slight tenderness in the area. shit hurts like a motherfucker when you drill it. i used to get out of the car when my parents drove me to school and would always hit it on the dashboard on the passenger side. SOOOOO fucking painful. just give it a year or two and it'll go away. muscle through it.
