Osgood-Schlatter – Pain in the lower part of the patella
Osgood-Schlatter is tendonitis that connects the quadriceps muscle to the tibia. The pain is felt in the lower part of the patella.
This injury is caused by continuous loads exerted on the knee area, or as a result of a very strong stretching of the tendon, which causes the tendon to detach from the tibia and tear off small pieces of bone with it.
X-rays of the area usually show signs of an inflammatory process or shards of bone.
The disease is mainly characteristic of adolescent athletes and usually passes on its own. Exercise that puts a strain on the knees can be reduced to reduce pain, but there is no evidence that rest will speed up the healing process.
Also, this disease has no effect on the future performance of the athlete as he or she grows up.
Knee pain and discomfort can have reasons that are not written here.
And even if you recognize all the symptoms, it is still not 100% sure you are suffering from this injury! Stay calm, and if you are worried that you have experienced this injury, see a doctor who will examine you!
Beyond the injury in this article, the pain you feel may be inflammation, a tight muscle, or a muscle nut that is squeezing and causing discomfort.
If it is a tight muscle or a muscle nut that presses on the painful area. We recommend a professional massage! If you want to do everything yourself, go to a video we have prepared especially for you on the subject of muscle release.
It is important that you learn about your body, knowing that when tissue is damaged in the body, the immune system responds. In response there are 2 stages:
The inflammatory stage – at this stage the body diverts the tissues destroyed by body cells that are designed to do so. At this stage, the blood flow to that area is increased.
Construction phase – At this stage the body repairs itself, rebuilds itself and repairs the damage caused. This process is injury dependent and can take up to several months.
