Article: Don’t ignore your child’s growing pains – it could be arthritis

In January, I introduced you to Danielle Fortin, a 21-year-old woman with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). The disease hit Danielle when she was 8 years old, but JRA, also called juvenile idiopathic arthritis, can begin even younger. The Daily News has this article Don’t ignore your child’s growing pains – it could be arthritis, which is about a child who began to show signs of arthritis at 18 months old.
