Osgood Schlatter Disease?

Issue
I have Osgood Schlatter Disease and I wanted to know what the best knee band is for it and where to get it. Thanks

Best Tip

Osgood Schlatter Disease is where you are growing so quickly that the muscle is too strong for the ligament that attaches it to the bone. As a result the muscle begins to pull the ligament away from the bone itself and as the body repairs itself a small bump of bone "scar tissue" begins to grow. Typically this happens just under your kneecap as your thigh muscle is the one that is usually the cause. The best method of recovery is quite simply rest.
If you want a knee band there is a product call a cho-pat available from most chemists. While this may assist, it is no substitute for rest and will not make the problem go away. Over time as your body grows it will eventually heal itself, but don't overdo it and cause too much damage!
