I decided at the end of August that I would take A off her joint pain/inflammation medication and see where we stood with her pain. The fact of the matter is, she hasn't been given an official diagnosis of JRA (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) and I hate the thought of giving her arthritis medication everyday when we don't know if she even has it. And now it's back. Her knees have been hurting, and a new joint joined the party . . . her ankles.
Oh, I pray we find out what is causing this pain. I don't want to mask it anymore. It's been years, and I think it's time we figure out the cause. Such a brave girl we have.
Meanwhile, she'll use Daddy to help her during those tough times when she can't walk.
