I was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis in 2005 at the age of 15, they didn't give me any medication of any sort, they just told me what my diagnosis was and i went home, I am now in severe agony with the pain, but the doctors told me that there is no record of this on any of my records!
what is the meaning of this?!?!?!
thanks xXx

You need to find a reputable Rheumatologist that can evaluate your case. In the meantime you can take 800mg of ibuprofen every 6-8 hours as needed if you are not allergic to ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). There are many treatment options available but you'll need an evaluation from a Rheumatologist first. Rheumatologists specialize in arthritis and other rheumatic disorders.
Man that sucks. It either means the doc you went to never documented it, which is unlikely. Or they lost the paperwork, which is possible. Or you went to a different doctor who doesnt have access to those records. Anyways, you should keep making appointments until you get what you need.
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a group of rheumatic diseases that begins at or before age 16. Arthritis, fever, rash, adenopathy (any disease of a gland, especially a lymphatic gland), splenomegaly (enlargement of the spleen), and iridocyclitis (inflammation of the iris and ciliary body) are typical of some forms. Diagnosis is clinical. Treatment involves Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
