What are the symptoms of juvenille arthritus and arthritus or is there something else this could be?

I have made a doctor appointment but they couldnt get me in for another 3 weeks. Ever since i was younger ive gotten severe pains and cramps in my knees atleast weekly. My doctor as a child always said it was growing pains…im 25 now and done growing and i still get them. Now that im pregnant its been more freqently also, closer to every day. My mother seems to think it sounds like arthritus.

Answer #1

Systemic onset type begins with very high fevers, frequently as a skin rash and shows evidence of inflammation in many internal organ systems as well as the joints. About 10 percent of children with arthritis have this type. Pauciarticular onset disease affects fewer than five joints. About half of all children with arthritis are in this category. Some of these are very young, from infancy to about age 5, and have a risk of developing inflammatory eye problems. Regular eye exams are essential. Polyarticular disease affects more than five joints (often many more), and can begin at any age. Some of these children have adult-type rheumatoid arthritis that begins at an earlier age than usual.

Answer #3

Is it in your knees or the muscle in your calves as well. One of the most common causes of cramps and pain in legs, which are often mistaken for growing pains is lack of magnesium. I used to get severe bad cramps where I almost couldn’t walk, especially at night and it helped for me. In any case, here are the symptoms of juvenile arthritis

The first signs of arthritis can be subtle or obvious. Signs may include limping or a sore wrist, finger, or knee. Joints may suddenly swell and remain enlarged. Stiffness in the neck, hips, or other joints can also occur. Rashes may suddenly appear and disappear, developing in one area and then another. High fevers that tend to spike in the evenings and suddenly disappear are characteristic of systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Source: http://funadvice.com/r/bdt2b01lbie

Answer #4

have you ever had your knee fully examined? another possibility besides arthritis is it could be your torn a meniscus in your knee when you were young and it still causes you pain. it could be something minor of a tare but it could be a possibility. and since your pregnant that is more weight your knee has to support so if by some chance you did tare your meniscus years ago, the cartilage on the ends of the bones may have worn away by now and since there is more weight your body has to support the bones can be grinding causing more pain more frequently.
