Answers:
Osgood-Schlatter's (OS) is generally identified in the early teens, is an inflammation of the tibial tuberosity, and tends to spontaneously resolve!. It may be related to fast growth periods!.
The tibial tuberosity lies just below (distal to) the knee!. As such, your heel pain is not OS!. You may be experiencing some Achilles tendonitis or plantar fasciitis, or both!. See a podiatrist (foot specialist, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
