No cure: Os is a developmental bone condition that goes away by itself. Occasionally physical therapy, casting, surgery or medications are necessary. See your doctor for advice to minimize the problem.

Stretch, stretch and: Stretch. Osgood-schlatter is a condition involving a portion of the tibial growth plate at the insertion of the patellar tendon. It resolves when the growth plates close. If the age you listed is correct, it is unlikely to be true osgood-schlatter disease. There are associated adult conditions that include tendinitis that may be causing pain. See an orthopaedist if you are concerned.

Some people have residual pump.
