Osgood schlatter disease?!


Question:

Osgood schlatter disease?

The last month, I felt certain pain by my knees and they are still hurting. I did not suffer from any injury though. It is more prominent in the left but I have some in the right too.The pains are sharp but not permanent, I just have them a couple of times a day.

My coach and nurse told me I had osgood schlatter disease. I did self investigation and I would like to ask some questions please:

How long does it take for me to have my growth spurt?
How long does this disease last?
How much can you grow through that period of time?
How do you know if I have recovered (any signs symptoms)?
Can you grow after you've had osgood schlatter disease?

Background info:
I am a13 year old male(I turn 14 in this month). I am currently 5'7 1/2. When I was 12 I was 5'3. Small parents (5'7, 5'5) and tall realtives (male: 5'11 over female 5'8 over)


Answers:

I don't know a whole lot about, but my dad got it when he was your age. He's a normal height but still has the bumps under his knees. Sorry I don't know more.
