My ds has been tentatively diagnosed today with Osgood-Schlatter disease. He's only just 4 which according to the GP is very young, he's active at nursery etc, but doesn't do any kind of organised sports.
Both knees now have strange lumps, and we've been told he'll grow out of it, and that we'll have to manage it with pain medication.
We're going to see GP next week for them to confirm, we've already had xrays and lots of antibiotics trying to cure the first of the mystery lumps.
Has anyone gone through this before? Am wondering whether this will limit his willingness to be active if it's going to hurt till he stops growing.
