Checked it out i=on the Mayo Clinic website.It’s a real disease that’s capable of causing real pain in kids who are active in certain sports...although they say it rarely becomes something that’s long lasting.
Yep, my son had it as diagnosed by a specialist. It is real. My son was playing soccer at a pretty high level and kids now play year-round with indoor soccer during the entire winter. A lot of stress on knees and joints at that age with that intensity.
