Can anyone help me with info?

oh poor wee thing yes arthritis can strike at any age u counld look on the internet for info or maybe arthritis fondation will be able to help hope this helps

The arthritis foundation was great when my nana first got arthritis, they have alot of information on it and it was easy to understand info not the stuff with big words.

my best friend is 20 and has had arthritis since she was six.She had a hip operation when she was 13 and is tiny.Its a really vicious condition cos it affects ur self esteem alot.Even tho my friend is sooo pretty she feels like noone would like her cos shes so skinny-and shes embarrassed bout her wrists and fingers so she wears long cutoff arm band type things dat she makes-shes very creative lol. When we were at school shed have alot of time off cos her joints would flare up in the colder weather,obviously running is difficult as is walking long distances-were stil gonna walk to the top of mt egmont one day tho.
Also she cant really bend her knees so when she gets out of cars off chairs etc,i pull her up-its like second nature.

But the main thing ive learnt from our friendship -apart from how strong amazing and loyal she is and how much i love her is that kids with arthritis do already feel different-they have mirrors,but in the mind where it counts theyre just like u and me.

Her dad is one of the main whatchamacallits of the arthritis foundation-i think he still is anyway-i could ring rach when i log out if u like and let u know then u could pm me and i could give u his number...he knows a lot about it

Hope that helps

poor little guy. my nana has arthritis and i know how painful she finds it.

if its the same kind as my friend itll be juvenile rheumatoid arthritis,hopefully the doctors are wrong for ur brothers sake -its a crap condition for older people its even worse for kids.
