Answer:
Osgood Schlatter is a condition in which your "growth plate" is separating from the bone. It is common in adolescents, especially if you participate in athletics. It will not effect how much more you will grow. You can still grow after this. The only long term effect that it may have, is that you will very likely have a little bump below your knee.
4. The amount that you grow from a growth spurt is varied. you may grow 6 inches or you may grow a half inch. It depends on the height of your parents, your diet, and how tall you were when the growth spurt begins.
5. People tend to have several growth spurts, so you may grow even more after one. males tend to stop growing in the late teens 17-19. Females tend to stop growing at an earlier age.
Not certain, but chances are you started having pain after a growth spurt, and it won't affect later growth.
I had it myself. It shows up near the beginning of puberty and goes away when you stop growing it hurts when you bump it and annoys you for several years. I grew well after it showed up for me. You'll grow out of it and youl'll be fine.
