Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Arms And Wrist
I ve got a 7 year old boy who has been ill for 4 and a half years due to joint problems. His knees, his ankle, his arms and his wrists goes swollen, hot and start with a little red rash. Took him to the doctors. Doctor said he s got behavioural problems and seeking attention. Could you tell me my doctors right
Dear Sir/Madam I have gone through your query and read your symptoms. In my opinion, if I believe that your child has been with trouble 4 years in his 7 years life, probably it could not be a behavioral problem, the most sinuous thing to rule out in this case would be Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, or any other reactive arthritis. I feel it would be better to consult a rheumatologist first and let it be investigated on arthritis lines. I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
