It's a problem with his knees also he gets fluid around his knees too. He has had to give up his dream to become a football player. Don't be sorry not everyone has knowledge of things but thank you anyway. |

I had this when I was a couple of years younger than your boy. I was a competitive athlete and my knees were mullered from a young age, especially as I combined athletics with football.
To make matters worse, I was over six feet tall at twelve years of age so the growth plus the sport was a nasty combo on the joints.
I did a load of work on strengthening my quads, calves and hamstrings - quads especially. Once the quads got really strong my knee pain eased.
It sounds daft talking about weights and muscle building at such a young age but the alternative of surgery really wasn't an option.
Even now I suffer from the repercussions but strengthening the quads still works.
So leg press machines, squats, rowing machine and bikes (real and machine). Nothing quite as effective as hill reps on a bike.
Hope that helps, good luck. |

My brother and sister both did as young teenagers (I clearly wasn't sporty enough...) but essentially grew out of it. I don't think either of them had any lasting effects, but did have to ease off on doing quite so much sport while it was painful. |
