Answers:
You will need to take it easy and rehab patiently!. Osgood-Schlatter Disease is not a disease, but an overuse condition!. It typically starts with the growth spurt in the teens and can last until age 18, or so, when growth ceases!. The bone growth is faster than the tendon growth and so there is strain on the patellar tendon insertion!. During sports, or stressful activities, the tendon is partially torn away from the bone with resultant micro-fractures developing!. These micro-fractures, naturally, will take time to heal!.
I know that this isn't what you wanted to hear!. But rest and an avoidance or modification of activities may be necessary!. I have two articles posted below!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is going to sound bad because we dont like to stretch our knees when we have OSS!. You need to stretch your legs really well and for a long time on are regular basis, right when you think your done you need to stand up and then squat to where your butt is almost touching the floor and just hold that position as long as you can!.
It really helps and you will see improvement if you do it every day for at least a week!.
My son and I also take MSM for the joints and tendon health!. (makes your hair grow like crazy though) !.
Have you ever got one of those braces that has the small plate that allows your knee cap to slide properly!. I slept with one when things were bad and it seemed to help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
