Osgood Schlatters Disorder? I have had a huge lump underneath my left kneecap sinse I was about 8?
Question:
Standardly they say you grow out of it but I'm almost 21!
Answers:
It is a short-lived problem of the knee in which a painful bony lump develops during a period of a growth spurt, often associated with considerable physical activity. The area
of bone affected is the tibial tubercle, which is a prominence just below the knee joint. Sometimes recovery may be delayed, especially in those who continue sporting activity, until bone growth ceases. The end result is a prominent painless tubercle. Supervised quadriceps exercises involving stretching can promote healing. Avoid cortisone injections and immobilisation in plaster casts. Rarely a small operation is necessary to remove an irritating piece of bone that has not healed. I would definatly see your doctor to get re-evaluated.
Other Answers:
I had the same diagnosis at about the same age. I did grow out of it after a few years with physical therapy. But there was never any type of lump at all.
Ya might wanna have that looked at again.
I have the same thing. In both of my knees, both sides have big lumnps under my knees. The lump is from where the tendon tore the bone. Im only 14 so Im not sure if my knees will hurt when Im 20, but if you did something to strain the area around the knee or the muscles and tendons around the knee then it could start to hurt again. Have you had a growth spurt lately? The streatching/ growing of the bones can cause osgood schlatters, so it might be re-straining your knee. I hope this helps. If not, see a doctor.
