my son has been diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter disease in his left knee and I'm really worried about how serious this is does it usually cause long-term problems what kind of precautions should he take to manage the pain and prevent it from getting worse also will he eventually need surgery for this condition

Osgood-Schlatter is usually self-limited. Avoid jumping/running, apply ice, and stretch the quads. Rarely needs surgery unless fragments dislodge or symptoms persist into adulthood.

My left knee ACL was replaced with a graft during surgery 4 months ago but I still don't have full extension in my knee. What exercises or suggestions do you have to help improve my range of motion?

To regain full knee extension after ACL reconstruction surgery, focusing on specific exercises and stretches, alongside proper rehabilitation, is crucial. Heel slides, quad sets, and hamstring stretches are particularly helpful. Gentle, controlled movement and pain management are key to safely increasing range of motion
