Until recently, the only treatment for Osgood-Slaughter Disease was anti-inflammatory drugs in conjunction with rest, ice, compression bandage (elastic bandage), and elevation of the affected leg. This treatment is known as “RICE”. Now, a new product called Oscon is being used and it appears to work on a variety of levels to treat the condition. People are also using over-the-counter remedies such as glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin and selenium with very good results. Pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) may reduce the pain and swelling. To treat Osgood-Slaughter Disease, your child’s doctor may suggest that he or she cut down on time spent playing sports until the pain has been gone for 2 to 4 months. Some physicians recommend the basic treatment “RICE”, or even the use of a brace that will reduce tension on the patellar tendons and quadriceps. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/97820/osgood_slaughter_disease_growing_pains.html?page=2&cat=5

Well there is really nothing you can do. I was treated for it in the most unconventional was just so I could keep running to play soccer. But none helped and I was forced to quit. Crying to just go up steps was an all time low for myself, I was 12 years-old and falling apart. The only cure is to out grow it, which means you won't feel it after your last peek of puberty or not till you're through with puberty. Sorry. But here are some things the trainers tried to do to help: duck tape your knees by first pulling down your thigh closer to your knee (as far as it will go without hurting yourself) then tape it, quickly. This is supposed to give your lower muscles less of a strain. Another is a lot of STRETCHING, I don't remember specifics but you can use Google. And the final treatment is Ibuprofen, a.k.a. ADVIL. The easiest was to obtain this is the over the counter version, but it's weak. What you really want is a prescription for it in 200mg or if it's real pain the max 800mg. And there is light at the end of the tunnel, I myself have joined the Softball team and been playing for the past three years, I'm 16 now. And I have a great friend who never quit, through pain and all, and has been the leading forward on our varsity girls soccer team, who've won the state championships too many times in a row. So don't give up hope.
