Brief Answer: Rheumatic arthritis or Juvenile Rheumatoid arthrit Detailed Answer: Hello, I have studied your case with diligence. As per your history and age there is possibility of rheumatic arthritis or Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis. I will advise some important blood investigation like ASO titre,RA factor,ACCP,CRP,ESR,CBC. Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis may involve large or small joints and early morning stiffness in joints, if clinical and pathological reports match then early JRA diagnosis can be predicted.
