what I found on the net:

Emergency Department Care: No prospective, interventional studies evaluating the treatment of OS disease, including the recommended conservative treatments (ice, analgesics, activity restriction, stretching, strengthening, or anti-inflammatory medications), are available.

* Once the diagnosis is made and other pathologies are ruled out, the patient may be discharged with primary care or orthopedic referral. Therapy is conservative.

* Initial treatment includes the application of ice for 20 minutes every 2-4 hours.

* Analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) may be given for pain relief and reduction of local inflammation.

* Inform the patient to avoid pain-producing activities (eg, sports that involve excess amounts of jumping).

* Use of a knee immobilizer for a few days may improve compliance, especially in more severe cases. Pads or braces also can be used for support.

* Once the acute symptoms have abated, quadriceps-stretching exercises, including hip extension for a complete stretch of the extensor mechanism, may be performed to reduce tension on the tibial tubercle. Stretching exercises for the hamstrings, which are commonly tight, may also be performed.

Consultations: Refractory cases unresponsive to conservative treatment should be referred to an orthopedist for possible surgical intervention. However, surgery is rarely needed.

I have this.. When i was youngeer around 14-16 i used to have big problems. I used to play football 3-4 times a week (matches) after the game and the following day i used to have pains in my knees and problems moving. I was told that i would grow out of it. I still have the lumps but i dont think i have the problems with pains and aches from it. altho i only play once a week now.
