questions about osgood schlatter?!


Question: Questions about osgood schlatter?
I am 12 now and went through puberty when I was 10. Although I still have my osgood schlatter. I eventually got use to the pain but now it's been hurting really bad. I have been needing to go up and down stairs a lot at school now that I'm in 7th grade but I'm also in showchoir and that when it hurts too. My p.e. teacher is a jerk and won't let me every sit out and no one understands how bad it hurts. So I have a few questions on what I should do. I know there are stretches you can do but what are they? And I was told to ice it for 15 mins everyday by my doctor but I don't have the time? Please help no one understands how bad my knee hurts.I have had this going for 3 years now! Please help. Should I go to the doctor again? All they will tell me is to wait until it goes away. I do have these strap things but they rub against my leg and leaves a burn so I stopped wearing them. Should I wear them anyways? idk I'm clueless.

Answers:

Do ice it. A quad strech will help. There are knee braces that will also help. Get your doctor to write you a note for pe as you should take it easy with running and jumping.
