You cannot be certain about the syndrome. The pain might be because of some other reason. I would suggest you to visit an OS for a better advice.

I have been having knee and leg pain lately. I have been to the doctors a couple times and they seem to think there is nothing wrong with me and just told me to take ibuprofen. At first I thought I had Osgood Schlatters but the test came back negative. I was looking online at what could be wrong and I found a picture of someone who has Miserable Malalignment Syndrome. My legs look exactly like the women in the picture, but not as severe. I can't find much information on it online though is it a uncommon condition?
And I really don't know how to get the doctors to take me seriously. Any advice or tips?

Caligirl86 and Miguel: I just sent you both private messages. My wife also suffers from rotational deformities that may qualify as MMS. I've been struggling for years trying to find someone who can adequately diagnose and treat her problems. Caligirl86, we also happen to be in the East Bay! So I'd really love to know if you've made any progress since you posted your message. Miguel: Who is the doctor who finally helped you? I'd like to contact that person as well. Hope you both are feeling better!
