Does osgood schlatter disease usually cause many symptoms?

Osgood-Schlatter: The most common presenting complaint of osd is anterior knee pain that increases progressively over time, from a low-grade ache to pain that impairs activity. Direct trauma, running, kneeling, squatting, jumping, climbing stairs, or walking uphill make the pain worse. The pain is relieved by rest. Most patients have only one knee involved, but bilateral involvement is not uncommon.

Anterior Knee Pain: Osgood schlatter's syndrome occurs in the front of the knees on the tibia bone in growing children usually around 10-14 year olds. In children, the tendons attach through cartilage until the child has stopped growing. In osgood schlatter's, pieces of cartilage are pulled off and then they turn to bone. This leaves a bump which is painful. It really is a type of stress fracture.
