Answers:

In the past the main treatment was rest, ice, compression, and elevated resting positions; Osgood-Schlatter Disease can be treated with over the counter drugs like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Because the pain of the disease is caused primarily due to the swelling it inflicts, any medication that can help to reduce swelling will also generally help to reduce pain.



You really need to get in to see an orthopedic surgeon you might not have what you think that you have. I know they thought that all i had was growing pains in my knees and it was much more than than that. well needless to say by the time my mom took me to the doc the damage was done and now at 38 i have had 10 knee surgeries and am in constant pain



It's a tight tendon that is the cause of that and they can be freed up but are difficult to do and usually require the aid of one trained in that.

have done tendon work.



you should go to doctor immediately.
