Jacob's syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder that affects males. It is caused by the presence of an extra Y chromosome. Males normally have one X and one Y chromosome. However, individuals with Jacob's syndrome have one X and two Y chromosome.\nMales with Jacob's syndrome, also called XYY males.\nJacob's syndrome occurs when a male inherits two Y chromosomes from his father instead of one. He is an XYY male. Most males are XY.\nThe exact cause of the XYY aberration is unknown.\nThere are many symptoms associated with Jacob's Syndrome. The most common symptoms are:\n    * learning problems at school\n    * delayed emotional maturity\nMales with Jacob’s syndrome are tall, thin, have acne, speech problems, and reading problems.\nMales with XYY have no increased risk of developing additional diseases. In rare cases males with Jacobs Syndrome will also have Klinefelter's syndrome.\nMales with Jacob's Syndrome will have a normal sexual libido and potency.

Yes, I would advise you to visit a doctor. If nothing else it will give you more information and piece of mind on your condition.

Taken from Wikipedia (see link below)...\n\nXYY syndrome is also called Jacob's Syndrome, XYY-trisomy, 47,XYY aneuploidy, or Supermale syndrome.\n\nFirst case\nThe first published report of a man with a 47,XYY chromosome constitution was by Dr. Avery A. Sandberg, et al. in 1961. It was an incidental finding in a normal 44-year-old, 6 ft. [183 cm] tall man of average intelligence.\n\nPhysical traits\nXYY syndrome typically causes no unusual physical features or medical problems. Males with this syndrome may be slightly taller than average and are typically a few centimeters taller than their father and siblings.\n\nSkeletal malformations may also accompany XYY syndrome at a higher rate than in the general population. Severe facial acne has occasionally been reported, but dermatologists specializing in acne (Plewig & Kligman, 2000) now doubt the existence of a relationship with XYY. Several other physical characteristics, including large hands and feet, have been associated (although not definitively) with XYY syndrome. Any physical characteristics, however, are usually so slight that they are insufficient evidence to suggest a diagnosis.\n\nMost males with XYY syndrome have normal sexual development and are able to conceive children.\n\nSince there are no distinct physical characteristics, the condition usually is only detected during genetic analysis for other reasons.\n\nBehavioral characteristics\nXYY boys have an increased risk of minor speech and motor skill delays and learning disabilities with roughly half requiring some special education intervention. Behavior problems are common, but are not unique to XYY boys and are managed no differently than in XY boys. There have been suggestions of elevated frequency of XYY genotype in inmates and delinquents. A common myth is that the Y Chromosome (male sex chromosome) adds to the aggression and antisocial behavior of people who have this syndrome. No clear evidence exists of it leading to aggression. However, scientists have noticed that an abnormal amount of prison inmates in comparrison to the general population have the XYY chromosome (still some think this is no proof of a link).\n\nCause and prevalence\nXYY syndrome is not inherited, but usually occurs as a random event during the formation of sperm cells. An error in cell division called nondisjunction can result in sperm cells with an extra copy of the Y chromosome. If one of these atypical reproductive cells contributes to the genetic makeup of a child, the child will have an extra Y chromosome in each of the body's cells. In some cases, the addition of an extra Y chromosome occurs as an accident during cell division in early fetal development.\n\nThe incidence of this condition is approximately one in 850 males.\n\n\nThe 48, XXYY (male) syndrome occurs 1 in 17,000 births and is also considered to be a variation of Klinefelter's syndrome. There have been limited studies on XXYY, but people who have XXYY are mostly normal.

I tend to agree with the above person. Although there seems to be quite a bit of info on the internet, it's often better to have it explained to you by an expert. There are different treatment modalities, that I won't go into here. Best to speak in depth with your childs doctor. Best of wishes.\n\nHave you discussed surgical options?

www.kidskneepain.com\n\nIt is "osgood schlatter's disease or syndrome" and that link will give you lots of good info about it.  I had a friend long ago in high school with that. You really need to go see the orthopedist so your son can get treatment for it because it can be very painful and even crippling, but doesn't have to be as bad as it used to be.\nMy friend strengthened himself by daily trips to a pool where he'd do up and downs on the balls of his feet to strengthen that tendon.  Good luck and tell your son everything will be fine.
