Do i have a knee injury?!


Question:

Do i have a knee injury?

Hi i was wondering if I have a knee injury. Everytime i bend my knee alittle bit )and tense it I feel this very acute pain ( I wouldnt even call it a pain I would call it more like an irritation) inside my knee. It doesnt affect me when I play soccer but I'm wondering if it really is a knee injury and if i slightly pulled a ligament in there and i need to check it out. Also, I think i caused it when I was playing soccer in the house ( what kind of a soccer player doesnt? lol) and i know that when i was trying to pass it i bent my knee to far....it didnt hurt, but i know i kinda extended it too far...thanks in advance

P.S. It hasnt gotten worse, but will it if i dont check it out?...im going to play nationals southeastern regionals in like a week


Answers:

You may have the same problem I have. I have a disease known as Osgood-Schlatters Disease. I have the exact same problem. I have been to the doctor about it. It is something you can inherit from somewhere in your family. It cannot be healed. You just learn to live with it. It gets better over time. My mother is 37 and still has it from when she was 14. She says as you get older the less painful it becomes.

Osgood Schlatters disease is a very common cause of knee pain in everyone. It is a condition where the bony protrusion below the knee (called the tibial tuberosity or tubercle) becomes inflamed, painful and swollen.

I hope this helped! Get well Soon.
