Osgood Shlatters disease
(3 discussions)
Well I was recently diagnosed with this disease.
However, it is really important that I continue with soccer even though it is painful as I play, and very painful after.
I limp throughout the game and can barely go up the stairs afterwards.
What should I do? Is it necessary to take a leave of abscence from the game?

I have this disease and you just need to rest your knee. The disease is caused by to much comptetive sport so you need to rest for about 6 mounths and then take your time going back.

Well I will tell you what I ended up haveing to do. I’m 16 years old and I had to give up my sport which was baseball it’s a hard thing to do but I know how you feel not wanting to stop playing but my pain got so bad that I couldnt do it any longer now I can’t hardly run for anytime from not stopping and letting it heel. well good luck
