Osgood-Schlatter disease – A disease often caused by repetitive
stress or tension on part of the growth area of the upper
tibia (the apophysis). It is characterized by inflammation of
the patellar tendon and surrounding soft tissues at the point
where the tendon attaches to the tibia. The disease may also
be associated with an injury in which the tendon is stretched
so much that it tears away from the synovium.

I have Osgood-Schlatter disease and I fell pretty hard on my knees on the basket ball court. I don't know what to do to get them better. I can hardly stand on them and I'm a starter for my basket ball team. Its is bruised, scraped, and is swelling.
