Joint Pain in Children

Persistent Joint Pain in Children

Children that suffer from sore or achy joints may be experiencing natural growing pains or soreness resulting from a recent injury. However, if the pain persists, a medical evaluation is necessary to determine whether the pain is a result of a more serious condition like juvenile arthritis. An autoimmune disease, juvenile idiopathic arthritis should be diagnosed as early as possible so that proper treatment can be administered. Without treatment, this condition may result in irreversible joint damage, developmental problems, disability, or deformity.
