If you have any experience with knee supports, would you reply which ones suited you most and why. I will be flying to meet my dad soon and I want to give it to him at that time. So pls reply. Thanks. I appreciate your answers.

i think i may have juvenile arthritis. i am 15 and i play basketball most of the year and some volleyball. for the past maybe 5 months i have been experiencing joint pain. it started with swelling of the knees. i got them drained and it hasnt come back. now my feet often bother me. my wrists have also begun to hurt sometimes so badly i cant turn it and it feels as if it is broken. recently, my finger have begun to hurt and swell up. does this seem like juvenile arthritis. i have been going to a chiropractor who has been making the pain come less often, but it still comes. he got me orthodics also. the chiropractor says it is because i have flat feet, but that doesnt explain the wrists and fingers.also, is it better to apply heat or ice to hurt joints?

I have arthritis and multiple joint pain, my dr put me on NSAIDs which are causing many side effects and I'm scared that it might do damage to my body. I'm 27 by the way. So I wonder for how long can I use those NSAIDs? few months?

I have rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease. I've noticed the joint pain is so much worse right before my menstrual cycle. Has anyone else experienced this? I assume it's from the changing hormone levels. I have little to no pain during the rest of the month.
My doctor says there should be no relation, but it occurs every month like clockwork. He's referring me to a rheumatologist, but I still think there is a link here.
