are there any side effects?

Can you diagnose me?? (Lupus vs arthritis?)?

I’m 16 years old,Female.

On the day May 30, 2009 I had extreme pain in my left shoulder. I did nothing physical that day.
It was just all of a sudden. That night, any small movement i would make with my shoulder would
hurt so bad, I would scream. My shoulder was not red but it was a bit swollen. The next day the pain
wasn’t as excruciating as the night before. The pain in my shoulder lasted 3 days, it gradually went
away.

A week or so after that I woke up with stiff a very stiff body, I was stiff until an hour or two.
My hands were in pain, my knuckles were swollen,red, and tender to the touch.
Weeks after that, my feet were in pain, particularly in my heel and the knuckles of my toes.
( the pain in my heels ever since that day has never stopped hurting. In fact, its been harder to
take walks. I can no longer jump. If i try to walk in a straight line I don’t have any balance.)

All of these pains slowly are taking over me. Its difficult to do my daily activities.
Like walking,tying my hair,getting up, etc. Just your day-to-day doings.

that’s the Just of it.

Oh and this issue has been going on for 7 to 8 months now.
And when i went to the ER the doctor diagnosed me as arthritis but she said shes not too sure.
she came to that conclusion due to something in my blood (i dint know the details)

Now, I’ve researched for quite some time now and I’ve come to the conclusion that
I have Poly-articular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Though rheumatoid arthritis seems incredibly similar to lupus…

Is it lupus or arthritis?…
Or what do you think I have?…

P.S. My face gets rashes,irritated,dry patches but as soon as I cleanse my face, it goes back
to normal.

18 month old complaining of knee pain?

admin — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:33:33 +0000

My daughter has been complaining that her knees hurt for the past week. She fell and had a pretty bad scratch on her knee. This was about 3 weeks ago and it is completely healed but I thought when she said "knee hurt", it may have been past tense and a recollection upon seeing the scar.

I am thoroughly convinced now that her knees are really hurting. I will kiss the scarred knee and she’ll say other knee hurt. She’s complaining constantly, but it’s not the type of pain that requires going to an emergency room. We have an appointment to see her doctor on Tuesday.

This is my REAL fear. I have chosen NOT to vaccinate my daughter. On July 8th she scratched her cornea and we ended up in an emergency room. I was convinced she needed a tetanus vaccine by both the er doctors and her doctor. She had no immediate reaction to the vaccine. But when I Googled "Toddler complains of knee pain" one of the links connected the Tetanus vaccine to Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am freaking out. I have also read the Web MD page explaining how to differentiate between JRA and growing pains.. and have ruled out growing pains.

WTF? Any ideas?

Joint Pain at 18 (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis)?

admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:27:10 +0000

I will be 18 on the 22nd of this month and I have been experiencing joint pain in my hands and wrist. I don’t get it all the time but it comes every few weeks/months. Many have said its because I’m still growning but I’m not sure I believe that. I don’t play any sports so it couldn’t be because if that. Do I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis? I am very fit (5′4, 105lbs) and work out every day. So could it still be growing pains?

How safe are tooth implants?

admin — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:57:37 +0000

I got into a bicycle accident yesterday. Landed on my chin. I got 7 stitches to close my chin up, and I have a small jaw fracture. I saw the dentist today, who referred me to an oral surgeon. I didn’t lose any teeth in the accident, however, 2 of them were cracked, and there are horizontal fractures on both. The dentist thinks she’ll have to pull them both. I’m 23, so there’s no way I’m ready to go through life missing teeth, so implants are an option. How safe are they? Infection wise? Does anybody have tooth implants? Or do any dental professionals know any research on it? My mom thinks my history of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis could cause a relapse with something foreign in my body.

Can any doctors or experienced medical persons help me?

I am a 15 year old male. My middle finger constantly stays sore and pops every time i bend it. I have never broken it, and I don’t think it’s dislocated. Though it is possible that it is. It seems to be worse with bad weather, or when bad events take place. Is it possible to have juvenile arthritis? What can be done to get this pain to stop? Should I see a doctor?
its been about 2 months… i think thats a long time?

When I am old enough will I be able to join the military with my Conditions?

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:33:05 +0000

My shoulder- is it dislocated/pulled muscle or what?

admin — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:42:51 +0000

Okay, so my left shoulder has been bothering me for about a week. It hurts to raise it higher than my chest and like the back of my shoulder hurts and my upper arm too. I’m also a competitive swimmer, and whenever I swim backstroke or breaststroke, it cracks/pops and it is painful. Should I see a doctor? I don’t think it may be lack of calcium either, because that is what my friend had.
By the way, I might have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, does that affect it in any way? Thanks in advance
