Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 13 yr old son told me last night that he had kneecap pain, but only when he sits and he didn t fall or hurt the somehow. He then said it s like when his fingers hurt. I was surprised but he said his fingers often hurt and that s just normal for him. Is this a growth thing? My younger son has oschlingers something that comes and goes, but this sounds different.
Hi, Welcome to the HCM Brief answe..It could be juvenile arthritis.. Detailed answe..juvenile arthritis is autoimmune joint disease , which can cause different joint pains, stiffness of body and bodyaches and on and off feve. My opinion would be get blood Rheumatoid factor ( RA factor) and ANA factor tests,and xray knee joints done , and discuss with the RHEMATOLOGY specialist. Hopefully my answer is helpfull.
