Knee Injuries.

Knee Injuries.

Knee Injuries.

Have any of you ever heard of Osgood-Slaughter Disease or Patella Femoral Knee Pain Syndrome? I was at the doctor's yesterday and apparently I have both of those, and I can't do any sports that require a lot of running for at least a year, maybe two!!!!! I'm sooo sad, because that means that I can't run track (I'm missing ((maybe)) the District Championship!), play basketball, play soccer, or dance!!!! I think the reason is because I didn't take good care of my knees when I was younger, and now I have this chronic thing and I'm so sad!!!! Anyhoo, my point was to ask if anyone else has had Osgood-Slaughter Disease, Patella Femoral Knee Pain Syndrome or both.....*sob*

I don't, but one of my friends has the Osgood thing, and she might have the other one, too, I'm not sure.

Poor you!!

My cousin does track too, and she sometimes has to stop for a month or so because something is wrong with her knees, though I don't know what. :)

 

I hope your knees turn out all right. :D :D :D :D

:(:( What did you do that didn't take care of your knees? Did you not drink enough milk? Oh, that's so sad! You were soooooooooooooo excited when track season started, and now you can't do it anymore! Cry 

I hope you will be able to play next year! :)

I don't think I had one of those, but whenever I ran my knees started hurting. Running, squats, skiing and going up and down stairs all hurt my knees. One time when i was doing winter training for rowing my knees hurt me so much I could barely walk around my one-level house! Then my mom took me to a physiotherapist  and they gave me a bunch of exercises and now they don't hurt! I hope that you get better soon! :) Hugs for you and smiles :) :D :) :D :)
