Hi Ann, I'm a physio in Australia and I have Osgood-Schlatter myself. As far as I know u cant do much and strapping and padding doesnt work at all. Basically you have to limit activities with a lot of quad involvement and wait for the ossification of the tibia to finish after that your tibial tuberosity is going to be big but otherwise you are asymptomatic at least up to 38 years of age.
