A patella strap will help with the compression, while not restricting circulation. There will be pain until growth stops or when direct contact with affected area of the knee. Acetaminophen/Motrin helps to deal with the pain of Osgood Schlatter.

The only thing available for it right now is surgery.\nMaybe other experimental treatments are on the way.

Let your food and water heal you.\n\nPart of the problem with Schlatter disease is that where calcium build ups are present, parasites will attack the affected area and sause considerable amounts of pain. Drinking 5-8 glasses of distilled water with a pinch of unrefined sea salt  will rehydrate your body and provide proper minerals for your body to fight parasites.\n\nI would also take a shot of carrot juice with 1 drop of Oregano OIl every morning for a week to help deep your body eliminate deep seated parasites. \n\n\nYou may be Selenium deficient\nEat one Brazil Nut each day for Selenium. \n"Selenium activates an antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase, which may help"\n\nMSM and Glucosamine are sulfur based food supp;ements that may help.\n\nDrink three cups Apple juice with a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar and a dash of cinnamon each day for pectins and pH balance.\n\nTart cherry juice could help with pain management\n\nFish Oil will help.\n\nSchlatter disease is not really a disease at all but rather it is like a \nred light going off in your dash telling you to give it water and oil. Most Americans are chronically heydrated and have poor diets with little fruit or raw vegetables. They use unhealthy table salt and seldom get enough sunlight. \n\nDrinking clean water, eating mostly raw fruits and veggies, drinking juiced fruits and veggies, eating nuts and berries, changing to sea salt for proper minerals, a little raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar and getting at least 30 minutes of direct sunlight each day with daily moderate exercise would give your body a rich amount of anti-oxidants, mineral rich salts, and proper hydration will turn off the warning indicators that tell you that you have symptoms identified as Osgood Schlatters disease. Give your body what it needs and those light will go out.

I had a coworker who had this.  There are medications for it, although I can't remember if the medications are a "cure" for it.  An alternative, sometimes last resort, is surgical removal of the spleen.  And I think the correct spelling is immunothrombocytopenic purpura.  If you type that into your Yahoo! search, you should be able to find many sites that will give you more information of what it is exactly and the treatment options.\n\nHope that helps.

I know some one who had suffered from this problem, his was also due to M.S.. His eyes made small involuntary movements, but the condition seems to have disappeared. He is taking a virtually unknown prescription drug that is working miracles in people with M.S.and other autoimmune disorders, it is known as Low Dose Naltrexone. Doctor Bernard Bihari of New York City has been working with this drug since the 80's. and it is just now starting to get some attention. The second annual Low Dose Naltrexone Conference was held in Washington this year, you can hear the lectures off the web site. Because the monthly treatment cost is only $38 u.s. per patient don't expect any drug company involvement any time soon. A few private clinical trails have commenced world wide and the preliminary results are all quite promising. If you have not heard of this little know treatment yet. try clicking on the link below and start your research, it might be a viable option for you.\n\nAnother very important avenue you should explore when treating M.S. is neurotoxin damage both dietary and environmental. Things like monosodium glutamate, aspartame, heavy metals,food additives, preservatives, fungal and bacterial mycotoxins maybe causing or exacerbating your condition. Many M.S. sufferers have made their symptoms disappear by eliminating the above mentioned poisons from their body.\n\nBecause most packaged foods have M.S.G. (under a disguised category such as modified corn starch, spices, yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable protein etc.) I would stick to fresh organically raised foods, stay away from anything packaged . Drink clean distilled or R.O. water only.\n\nGet checked for heavy metal contamination, have both Hair analysis and Urinalysis through Calcium EDTA provocation. There is a possibility that you have mercury poisoning, from either vaccination, or through food consumption. If you are positive for heavy metals, then chelation therapy should be explored. Dr Gary Gordon of Tempe Arizona is the expert here. He also works with Dr Amy Yasko that specializes in patients with neurological disorders.\n\nTo check for biotoxin exposure I would recommend Dr.Shoemaker’s website listed below. On his site there is information on doing a VCS (visual contrast sensitivity) test. This doctor specializes on treating people with biotoxin-induced illness.\n\nSome final recommendations I have for you is to look into: enzyme therapy such as Wobenzym N, (it is very popular in Europe especially Germany), Vitamin D therapy and Histamine therapy \n\nAlthough the doctors mentioned below are available for phone consultations, Dr Bihari will be extremely difficult to speak with, instead I would call one of the compounding pharmacies listed on the web site and ask for names of doctors in your area that might be sending prescriptions to them.\n\nI have confidence that you can beat this thing, or put it into remission, all the best to you!

http://www.emedicine.com/oph/topic479.htm#section~differentials\nThis is only one source. There are a lot of other searches that suggest similar procedures. From all accounts so far, I have seen, that there is no cure. It suppresses the immune and causes the skin to thicken when he scratches. \n\nI have a pre-cancerous condition where I have to have laser surgery every 6 months or so. It is persistent and when it is at its apex it is extremely itchy. There is a great deal of scarring and albinism due to the repeated surgery, the skin is very thin. I have used corticosteroids and flamazine. It is used for laser skin surgery and burn victims. It really does numb the pain while it protects vulnerable tissue.\nFlamazine cream may also be used as an aid to the short-term treatment of infection in leg ulcers and pressure sores, and as an aid to the prophylaxis of infection in skin graft donor sites and extensive abrasions. I don't know if this helps any for the scratching, but it is a topical anti-bacterial as well. The link is below.\n\nHere is a site for support groups for your son and yourself. I can tell that you are not alone.\nwww.medhelp.org/HealthTopics/Dermatitis.html \nI wish you well and hope this helps a little bit. It must be unimaginably difficult to see your child suffer so.

The aims of treatment are to reduce the number and severity of attacks and to prevent tissue damage and loss in the fingers and toes. Most doctors are conservative in treating patients with primary and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon; that is, they recommend nondrug treatments and self-help measures first. Doctors may prescribe medications for some patients, usually those with secondary Raynaud's phenomenon. In addition, patients are treated for any underlying disease or condition that causes secondary Raynaud's phenomenon.\n\nNondrug Treatments and Self-Help Measures\n\nSeveral nondrug treatments and self-help measures can decrease the severity of Raynaud's attacks and promote overall well-being.\n\nTake action during an attack--An attack should not be ignored. Its length and severity can be lessened by a few simple actions. The first and most important action is to warm the hands or feet. In cold weather, people should go indoors. Running warm water over the fingers or toes or soaking them in a bowl of warm water will warm them. Taking time to relax will further help to end the attack. If a stressful situation triggers the attack, a person can help stop the attack by getting out of the stressful situation and relaxing. People who are trained in biofeedback can use this technique along with warming the hands or feet in water to help lessen the attack.\n\n\nKeep warm--It is important not only to keep the extremities warm but also to avoid chilling any part of the body. In cold weather, people with Raynaud's phenomenon must pay particular attention to dressing. Several layers of loose clothing, socks, hats, and gloves or mittens are recommended. A hat is important because a great deal of body heat is lost through the scalp. Feet should be kept dry and warm. Some people find it helpful to wear mittens and socks to bed during winter. Chemical warmers, such as small heating pouches that can be placed in pockets, mittens, boots, or shoes, can give added protection during long periods outdoors. People who have secondary Raynaud's phenomenon should talk to their doctors before exercising outdoors in cold weather.\n\nPeople with Raynaud's phenomenon should also be aware that air conditioning can trigger attacks. Turning down the air conditioning or wearing a sweater may help prevent attacks. Some people find it helpful to use insulated drinking glasses and to put on gloves before handling frozen or refrigerated foods.

I know several people who have it. We have found that Guaifenesin Therapy seems to help. I've posted a link to a page that gives some info about that.

From what you are describing I'm not so sure this is something that you can 'cure'.  What you may be able to do is find ways to help your son with gaining social skills and improving sensory tolerances.  Your son may benefit from behavioral or cognitive therapy targeting social skill development and understanding.  He may need help with learning ways of coping with an overload of sensory input.  He may not be able to provide his own structure but may need to have his environment and routines structured for him.  \n\nA good place to start is by writing down a list or description of symptoms/behaviors/concerns that you feel need to be addressed.  Take a copy of this list to the school ask his teacher if any of these apply to your son in the school environment.  If they do then you can seek a school evaluation to find out what supports may be beneficial to your son in school.  School is not just about academics.  It is also supposed to be about learning how to get along in the world and being able to go on to college, tech school and work.  If you can't socialize or provide self structure then this is a problem.  Your pediatrician is also a good resource for directing you to additional sources of evaluation of his current needs and performance levels.  Once those are fully discerned then you can more appropriately target means of addressing his difficulties.
