thread_title: Removed, but funny enough to memorialize in the talk page

message: I took out the synonym "knee cancer".  There really is a cancer of the knee and O-S has nothing to do with it.  This reference would be confusing.  Furthermore, the confusion could be dangerous.  See here, cancer mistaken for O-S [].  Perhaps there should be a section discussing "growing pains" and possible misdiagnosis, but I don't believe "knee cancer" has ever been a synonym for O-S.

thread_title: Removed but not funny

message: I was diagnosed with having this as a result of having low arches (flat feet, falling arches) and with using orthotic insoles the problem completely cleared up and I've been fine for 20 years. Surprised to find nothing about arches and orthotics on this article page. Mayumashu (talk) 00:45, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  flat feet, low arches 

message: Greetings Doc James.  Could I ask you to have another look at the article on former Olympic cyclist Mick Bennett?  
The article does provide what I would regard as a valid reference though I think you may simply have missed this.  I won't change it unless you agree.  Bennett is well known in the UK & he literally has a track record but I don't know if his case is a good medical example of the problem or not.  Regards JRPG (talk) 11:22, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: In this edit  you did not add that ref. If you bring that ref over than it will be fine. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12:20, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

message: I read here that Shaq had Osgood-Schlatter . I read or heard somewhere that Carl Lewis had it as teenager and required crutches for awhile because of it. maybe they should be added to the last section of the article as famous sufferers.socrtwo (talk) 18:33, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
