Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month <\/em>is now upon us, July of 2015.\u00a0 That\u2019s right; children can get arthritis too.\u00a0 In fact, 300,000 children a year are diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis.\u00a0 If you have experienced arthritis from the wear and tear of joints from old age, you know how agonizing this affliction can be.\u00a0 With the misconception that only the elderly can get arthritis, it is important to be aware that small children can experience these
\naches and pains too.<\/p>\n

One in every 250 children, ages 16 or younger, are diagnosed with the incurable condition of Juvenile Arthritis.\u00a0 Juvenile Arthritis is somewhat of an umbrella term for several different types of arthritis, separated into three types:\u00a0 Juvenile Chronic Arthritis (JCA), Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), and Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA).\u00a0 JRA, the most common, presents itself in children as joint pain, limping, swollen joints, stiffness, or clumsiness. In more severe cases, Juvenile Arthritis can affect the entire body with a fever, rashes, and swollen lymph nodes.\u00a0 If these symptoms are apparent and persist for more than a week, it is time to take your child to the doctor.\u00a0 It is important to recognize that your child has the disease early on, due to possible permanent complications such as glaucoma and blindness from eye inflammation, or growth problems from poor bone development.<\/p>\n

[spacer height=”20px”]<\/p>\n

Although this is not a curable disease, symptoms can be treated with a variety of different doctors and therapies.\u00a0 Doctor\u2019s main concern in cases of Juvenile Arthritis is that the child maintains an active, social, and healthy childhood regardless of this disease.\u00a0 Pain and symptoms may be suppressed with medication, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery.<\/p>\n

[spacer height=”20px”][spacer height=”20px”]<\/p>\n

Juvenile Arthritis is not linked to any known cause.\u00a0 For unknown reasons, Juvenile Arthritis is derived from an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks its own tissues and cells. Scientists are constantly working towards a greater understanding of this disease, as the number of cases increase year after year.<\/p>\n

[spacer height=”20px”]<\/p>\n

If you feel passionately about this cause and would like to donate or find ways to help, there are several foundations that are available such as the Arthritis Foundation, the Arthritis National Research Foundation, and the Juvenile Arthritis Association.<\/p>\n

[spacer height=”20px”]<\/p>\n

Even if your child is never diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis, it is important to recognize the unsuspecting diseases a child may be susceptible to.\u00a0 Having an awareness about these types of unfortunate diseases is important to keeping a close eye on your child\u2019s health, as well as your own.<\/p>\n
