Juvenile Arthritis Archives

i have pain and it doesnt hurt bad and i wanna know if i have it so would Juvenile Arthritis hurt really bad

Since I can remember, I’ve always had stiffness and pain in the joint of my middle finger.. The joint inflames and becomes very painful and then goes down to where I feel almost no stiffness or pain. The joint, even when it isn’t inflamed is significantly larger than the rest of my finger’s joints. I’ve had this pain since before I started school, and now I’m 18. I would love if anyone has ideas to what it may be or if they know for sure that it’s a very mild case of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

So, for four years, I’ve been having weird symptoms and they will not go away. I’ve been to countless doctors and been on so many meds I’ve lost track.
It all started with just knee pain, in the joint. I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. After trying every single medicine for arthritis, nothing worked. Over the years, my symptoms have gotten worse. Now, I have pain every single day all over my body. I have sores under my tongue and I can barely make it through a week of school because I randomly start feeling like I have the flu, with body aches, chills, and that overall not feeling well feeling. I am so tired I literally cannot get out of bed at least once every two weeks. Im always cold and my toes and fingers get pins and needles out of the blue. I also get thus weird rash behind my legs, and no matter what i try it wont.go away. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a disorder where your brain interprets pressure as pain. All the medicines im on now (lyrics, gabepentin, provigil to help.keep me awake, and amitriptiline) do nothing but make me tired or high strung and unable to concentrate. I’ve never heard of another teen with fibromyalgia, an I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and had any tips or anything? Thank you so much.

Okay, So my mother had Juvenile arthritis when she was younger and it eventually went into remission but I am not afraid I have it. Tell me if these symptoms could be JRA. I have involuntary twitching in my ankle that gets worse in my ankle and today when it started to rain my knees started sching like crazy. Oh, and by the way… I am 15. Thank you! (:

It’s not like it’s all the time when i’m waling but now and again i feel this click, i’m sure its in the hip but then again my knees sometimes do it so i’m not sure..i do have juvenile arthritis but it isn’t usually this bad…is it that? or is it more serious? how can i help it?

My parents and I are thinking about getting a service dog but we would prefer one that does not shed but is a bigger dog because I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (so it would have to be able to pull me in a wheelchair sometimes and stuff like that) and I have this thing where I pass often. So what some bigger service dogs that can meet my needs and not don’t shed? Thanks for the help in advance!

my son has sickle cell anemia and juvenile arthritis. he has been getting social security benefits for a few years and he just turned 18. now the argument we are having is this. i say: he is still in high school, senior, and that because of his “student” status that i am still over the checks and can only cash them. He says: im 18 and they are legally mine . who is right provide links with answers please

Since there are 300,00 in the US, 1 in how many kids are affected by juvenile rheumatoid arthritis?
