I too, had Osgood Schlatter's Disease when i was younger!. Your doctor should have given you an exercise or two!. I was also in a knee brace!. So my suggestions are if you can!.!.!.talk to your parents and see if its possible for them to get you a knee brace this helped for me!. And the excercise that worked for me was
~lay on your back
~bend one of your knees and plant your foot on the floor
~stretch the other knee out
~then to the side
~ then back in
~ and then bring it up to your chest
~do about ten of these and then switch legs
I hope this helps :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
