In 1903, two surgeons by the name of Robert Osgood
(1873-1956) and Carl Schlatter (1864-1934) explained the disease we currently
recognize as Osgood Schlatter disease. It's among one of the most typical
causes in knee pain in children and young adults. It could develop in either
leg but typically one is more serious than the other. Typical symptoms are pain
under the knee caps, enlarged lumps also under knee caps, tightness of the
neighboring muscles mainly in the quadriceps and pain is a whole lot worse
throughout and right after working out. The physical activities that place the
most stress on the knees are running and jumping sports such as basketball or
football.
The pain is different in many people; some may have a moderate pain while others will find it very tough to carry out day-to-day activities including walking or going up stairs. Children and young adults (9-16) are much more likely to be at an increased risk because that is when they're going to hit their growth spurt. Additionally their bones are much softer than grownups because of to the simple fact that their bodies are not completely developed which consequently makes the bones weaker. This fast development joined with demanding workouts the pain you feel under your knee caps. Pain will become much more significant the longer and harder you workout. The swelling or lump arises from the quadriceps muscle contracting and tugging the patellar tendon away from the shin bone, this leading to there to be a separation among the cartilage and the bone. Any time the knees are rested new bone is formed over the spot in which the cartilage and bone separated and that is where the inflammation originates from. The lump size also is determined by exactly how active you are and what kind of workout is being carried out. The size of the inflammation can grow in size and tenderness based on the level of stress it is put through.
If you are very active this will lead to the lump swelling significantly and becoming very uncomfortable. The pain can last only a few weeks to a month or until they are done developing and the cartilage and bone will be able to finally be formed back together. The bone and cartilage will only be formed back together once the patella tendon ceases yanking away from the shin bone. That is often when you are finished growing or have taken a considerable time off from workouts or placing any type of stress upon your knees. Unless one of those two things occurs, you are going to have to possibly cope with the pain or find an alternate way. I go over some different methodsof managing the pain and getting your knees back into running shape here.
