How do you cure Osca-Shlatters disease?

Answer 1

This is a disease of the knee (has a different name for other body parts)that is caused during children's growing periods where the tendon and the bone are not exactly in synch. In the old days, the cure was bedrest and so on, hoping to avoid any permanent problems. When my son had it, he used the ice and Tylenol and was allowed any activities he could work through as far as the pain. Once his growth slowed down, the problem was resolved. There were no residual effects. Osgood-Schlatters disease. Osgood-Schlatter disease is thought to be caused by chronic microtrauma and it is considered an overuse disorder. The main treatments are symptomatic, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, rest, and putting ice on the area after playing sports. http://www.osgoodschlatter.com/ http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/cybertherapist/front/knee/osgood.htm http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/orthopedics/a/osgoodschlatter.htm Y-THINK-Y
