Has anyone else experienced any recurrence of Osgood-Schlatter's disease as a result of their martial arts practice?
I, like many others, had it as an adolescent, and the bony bump (tibial tuberosity) on one knee never completely went away. Although in the past the only discomfort I experienced was trying to sit in seiza on hard floors (due to the bump), recently it has become more sensitive when I sit in seiza on any surface, particularly when bowing. I have a hunch that this current discomfort is really only the result of a bruise from taking ukemi recently. However, I am interested in learning if anyone else has had similar experiences or recurrences as a result of their training.
Regards,
