What Is The Treatment Of Juvenile Arthritis?
Hi, I'm a 20 year old female, when I was 1 year old I was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis. I was taking Naprosin for approximately 2 years and going for regular doctor visits every 3 months plus seeing an eye doctor every 6 months until I was told I no longer had Juvenile Arthritis and was discharged. For past 5 years I have been having pain coincidently in the same areas that I was told I had the Juvenile Arthritis when I was a toddler. Is it possible it could come back? I thought a person out grows it when they become a teenager and I am now 20. I've had some pain in my joints as a teen but usually it was sports related, could it be pain from sports injuries or should I be checking for the Juvenile Arthritis again?

I appreciate your concern and in my opinion the arthritis condition of yours can be treated with Tab Diclofenac 50 mg sustain release once in day, with Tab Acetaminophen 500 mg once in day, steroid can be tried and Prednisone would be the choice this need to be taken in tapper manner, better to have word with your doctor whether you are qualified for this or not because clinical examination is must to know this, take care.
