Hi All,
I would like to gather some expert opinions on my son’s knee condition.
He is 14 years old and keen football (Soccer) player, recently he has been suffering with Osgood’s schlatter disease. Which after about 5 mouths of reduced footballing activity seems to have passed for now, and at present he has no Osgood’s pain below the knee in either leg.
What he does have however, is pain in the left knee brought on when there is a rapid change in acceleration or de-acceleration. He also struggles to extend the leg into a straight horizontal position when sitting.
The pain is situated at the bottom of the knee cap.
What I’m trying to understand is:
1: What might the problem be?
2: How can we improve /cure the issue?
I should also mention that he was born with very flat feet for which he wears off the shelf corrective insoles, however he had no knee issue prior to the Osgoods.
I appreciate this is nowhere near enough information to provide any real help, so if there are question you need to ask or any further information I need to provide please just ask and I will post ASAP.
TIA
Martin
