(Osgood Schlatters disease is a very common cause of knee pain in children and young athletes. It is a condition where the bony protrusion below the knee (called the tibial tuberosity or tubercle) becomes inflamed, painful and swollen.)
It should go away completely as soon as she finishes growing which should be about another year. So she will continue to have on and off pain throughout that time frame. He told her to continue what she is currently doing to manage the pain and that is pretty much all that she can do. So for now she is completely cleared and as long as she realizes when it hurts to come out of the game, then its all good. So now it's up to Carly. She has a year now to rest it. Until next soccer season!!!!
