Has anyone else ever been diagnosed with Osteochondritis Dessicans? Any information on it besides just websites would be greatly appreciated.

I seriously doubt that humans are afflicted with this disease to any degree. It seems confined to animals that mature to a large size in a very short period on a rich diet(usually with some imbalances). It is the bane of thoroughbred racehorses.

Well, actually I recently found out that i have it. I've checked out some websites on it too, and it does happen to humans.
Sorry Ankle Man, i don't have much to offer, maybe when i get further into this whole thing i will.
This put my son on crutches for 6 weeks when he was in the 5th grade. He has gone on to be a multi year All American. It was explained to us as a condition where the bone grows faster than the blood supply can properly keep up with leaving a hole or a weak spot. It is much like a pithy in a plant. The seriousness of the condition depends on where it develops. Good luck!
Sorry I'm a little late but was just scanning through the old pages and saw this topic.
I was diagnosed with O D back in 96 in the sesamoid bones in my feet. After the school trainer (the most useless f*ck in the whole world) just said that it was calluses and that I could run I went to see a doctor. The doctor took x-rays and then said that there was nothing wrong and that it was probably just a bone bruise. After six weeks on crutches I then went to an orthopaedic surgeon with my x-rays and than gave the final diagnosis. I then tried several different remedies over the following couple of months, including walking around with one of those stupid wooden shoes on. Finally I had to have the bone, or at least the half that was left, excised. Lots of pain and six weeks in a wheel chair and I was back running 7 months after surgery and have recently run 3:42.
More than happy to answer other questions or give you the name of an excellent surgeon!!!
