First of all, pain killers alone aren’t enough to stop the pain you get from rheumatoid arthritis. Sure, they;ll help tone it down, but never take it away. This is an entirely different type of arthritis and is also an autoimmune disease too. Simply put, your body’s immune system attacks itself when you have it. People that do have it will tell you how happy you should be that you don’t have to suffer from the pain and disability’s that come with it too. Please get a referral to an orthopedic doctor. They can evaluate and treat whatever your joints are going through. Forget about what your horoscope says too. You also need to remember that those pain killers have a high price on your body. Once you become tolerant to the dosage and type you’re on, you won’t ever get that relief again. Either the type or dosage will cause a cycle you can never recover from. You can try pain management. They use pain pills allot, but in conjunction with other treatments too. These are my suggestions and the same advise I would give to anyone at any age in the same condition. Please start to find the cause of what you do have. Then get the treatment and get on with living the rest of your life. Good luck and God Bless
do you think i have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis?
my freshman year i had an ankle injury, partly caused because i got kicked in teh ankle during soccer
sophomore year: pain/mild sprain in left knee during cross country, left ankle swollen in track. my doctor gave me painkillers for both, and it got better.
junior year (this year) : pain below left knee in cross country
i’ve never had pain in wrists/arms/fingers etc. and im 15
what do you think? also, my horoscope that was made when i was born said i’d have knee problems (i just found it out recently)
do you think its rheumatoid arthritis ?
what would you recommend i do?
btw my pain stopped as soon as i started taking painkillers. after that i’m unsure on how long it took to cure, because all i knew was that i wasnt in pain
SEVERE growing pains. JRA?
Over the past year Ryan has been to the doctor 3 times for what she has repeatedly identified as “growing pains.” And I didn’t have much reason to question that because Ryan is small and typically measures between 5-25% for height and weight and yet goes through crazy growth spurts.
But uh mygawdddd. Neither of us can handle this another day and I don’t think that diagnosis is acurate.
Whenever he has the pains he will literally wake up screaming and crying and beg me to rub his legs and feet. His doctor said that the growth spurts are causing stress on his achilles tendon which is making him think his feet hurt. But lately the pain seems to be worse and has been occuring in other areas like his wrists and elbows. Thursday night he was up all night with the pains and Friday his teacher came up to me and said that he had just been unusually awful all day. He’s normally so sweet at school but had apparently been talking back, yelling randomly, and even started kicking a teacher when she had to literally pick him up to get him off the playground. This is not normal Ryan.
Today he couldn’t sleep. He literally did not take an afternoon nap (as he has everyday of his childhood) and now it’s almost 10 and my father and brother have him out for a car ride to try and calm him down while I’m here trying to calm myself down. I’m on the internet searching for something, anything. Every thing I can find says that growing pains are not this severe and do not occur in the morning. Ryan has been having these pains 24/7. Several articals have mentioned it could be something more severe like Junior Rheumatoid Arthritis. He’s also been abnormally clumsy (in our 30 min trip to walmart on thursday he spilled his drink all over the floor, broke a storage box, and knocked over two full boxes of gum in the check out line. for example.)
We’re going to the after hours clinic in the morning. Please if you know anything about this share it. No redness or swelling
can junior rheumatoid arthritis cause a vaginal rash ?
