    Glad the news is better than it sounded at first. [Yikes! ] I'm not familiar with this condition. Please keep us posted.

    Oooooooooooh my God!!!

    I've had schlatter since I was like 12, and this is my first time ever meeting someone who even knows what the hell it is, even less have it themselves!! I'm shocked...

    Let me assure you though, it isn't a big deal at all (I'm speaking from my own experience here, so of course it might be totally different for you). All it ever did to me was give me a bump directly under my knee which really isn't even that visible. I never got any treatment for it whatsoever, and it's never bothered me at all.

    The doctors told me that people who are very atletic are more prone to getting schlatter, but since I never liked to excersise there must be other reasons for getting it.

    So I wouldn't worry too much if I were you, it's not a big deal really. *hugs*

    Please sign my guestbook if you have the time

    WHEW! RELIEVED the news wasn't the dreaded C. My brother also has this and like Ann it has never bothered him. His bumps under his knee are visible only if you really look for them!

    Mel, glad to hear that it wasn't cancer. Do you still need an MRI? I had knee surgery seeral years ago and had to have an MRI. Wasn't too bad.

    Good Luck.

    Thank God for the better news. However, perhaps your parents should take you to a bone specialist. Any doctor that tells a 13 year-old that she suspects cancer-without consulting her associates first-would not have my trust for very long
    Hope you find some answers soon when you have the MRI. Take care of yourself and stay well.
