Can you continue to play sports with Osgood-Schlatter?

Answer 1

I have osgood-shlatter myself and in 6th grade. It does hurt, and if your a football geek (like myself) it is probably hard to get away from that. I'd suggest resting, no sports. My doctor said that I have to just rest and no sports. I want to be in pediatrics some day, so having this knee pain is a good bad experiance.

Me too, but, im a geek in ALL sports. Im a girl though, and i researched my problem and it said boys get it more often. My brother got it from my dad, and i got it from my brother. SOCCER is the best sport, but also makes it much worse, because of slide tackles, kicking, falling, pushing. (im goalie) and it always hurts afterwards. (and in game, dur) So, i play whatever sports i want. I dont care if it hurts, sports are my life outside of school, and they always will be. My bf has the same problem, and hes a football geek as well. But, i soon will be getting a knee brace, but some people say they don't help. But, to answer your question, it kinda depends on the size of the lump, your age, what sports you play, how active you are, ect. But, I'd talk to my mom or dad (im in 7th grade) about it.

Answer 2

Yes! I had Osgood-Schlatters growing up, and after physical therapy to strengthen my quads and hamstrings, along with some stretching exercises I was able to play most sports. I did fail the physical for football my senior year in high school, and the military turned me down because of it, but for the most part I was able to compete in most sports.

Answer 3

I got Osgood Schlatters when i was 14...... due to my love for football (soccer), i carried on playing football, almost every day since then.

I am now 16 and when i play sports i don't feel any pain in my legs, what so ever.
