Suggest Treatment For Arthritis Problem

When i was a small child (probably 3 or 4) I was diagnosed with a joint problem, and was told that it would likely reoccur when i was a teenager. I am now 16 and i have severe arthritis-like joint pain. The pain is constant, and in most of my joints (wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, mid-spine, hips, knees, ankles, toes, and fingers).

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you had arthritis when you were small child i.e. 3 year old. Now you are 16 yrs old and you are having arthritis of most of your joints. I think you are having juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. You need to do your test such as ESR, C reactive protein,Rheumatoid arthritis test done to further investigating. Till then you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pin relief. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
