Good Doctor I was told I had Osgood Schlatters when i was 13, the only treatment that was recomended was a few excesises. Nothing seemed to help, the pain has been constant, unlike others my pain didn't recide. Until today I had no problems walking, although banding down has always beed a problem,this morning I woke up and could hardley get out of bed. My pain was so extreme it made both of my hips hurt.I finally opted for the local ER and got some pain meds. After nearly 8 yrs. I finally got a referal for an Orthpedic Dr. Never the less, don't let your doctor ignore what you tell him nomatter what it is, because where I live it's hard to find a doctor that will look into problems whatever thay may be. I will keep everything posted about my doctors visit on monday.
