Q: Osgood-schlatter Disease

Allo! I'm pretty sure I hav e Osgood-Schlatter Disease. Basically, my knees are cvery frequently in a somewhat mild pain right underneath my knee cap. Out of a 24 hour day, a good hour or two minimum is dedicated to pain iny me knee. Sometimes they hurt half the whole damn day, it really depends. I do alot of bike riding and longboard regularly I'm pretty physically fit as far as my legs go for a 17 year old. I self medicate with marijuana *hypothetically speaking of course* and that usually helps alot. But I'm not always high because they cut my hours at work and now I don't get paychecks Razz. I'm considering going to a doctor about it, but I don't want to run up my parents bank account for some growing pains and anti-inflammitories. My question is though, if I were to go to the doctor, would the probably prescribe me opiates or something that'll actually take the pain away? I can't take ibuprofin because I have an ulcer, and some anti-inflammatorys I'm allergic too, so I try to keep away from things like that in general. So far, the only reliable pain reliever I've used aside from marijuana *hypothetically speaking* would be opiates.
