Unlike elderly people where knee pain is a more common problem, coming to the kids, the paediatric population knee pain is not a very common issue. But still, certain kids do experience knee pain.

Though there are various reasons for knee pain, in this video let us see about a condition called 'Osgood - schlatter disease'. The name may seem a little alien but it is a normal condition in kids. One in ten thousand is what the statistics say. For these kids, the pain usually happens not exactly in the knee joint, but slightly below the joint. If you run your finger above your knee joint and go below, there is a bumpy bone. That is where the pain is.

It comes in girls between 8 - 11 years and in boys between 12 - 14 years. Classically, during puberty and the growth spurt and when the body weight increases.

So this is the time when they go into more sporting activities, they do jumping, they play basketball, volleyball, they experience this pain. This pain is because that particular bone before attaching to the main bone gets fragmented or disintegrated.

So these kids how they go about it is, they come home from the school and complain to you of pain classically in that age group and this pain is in that bumpy part. So if they rest, they get better. But again when they go back to their sporting activity it comes back again.

But the good thing is this problem is a self limiting one which means even without doing anything it gets better. So, it gets better by itself, down the line. So, in the meantime what we can do is, rest, ice pack, some sort of a band, usually which is available over the counter, the osgood schlatter band that can be worn around the knee to make them offload the forces.

So rest, ice pack and this band should be good enough. But, down the line, time will definitely heal this condition once they grow out of the growth phase. One thing that you might probably have to face is that bumpy bone. The bumpy bone may stay for a little longer
or can stay throughout your lifetime but it will not be painful.

So if you have a kid who has knee pain don't be worried. Meet your doctor, they will address your problem.
