Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis begins with swollen knuckle, fever or rash.  This is nothing but an inflammation of the joints which is characterized by heat, swelling and pain. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis can be for short term or even last for weeks, months, or forever too based on the severity.  The cause of this arthritis is not clear but they say it is due to autoimmune disease where the white blood cells will lose the ability to differentiate between the healthy and harmful cells. This is treated with combination of medications which includes exercise and physical therapy. There are situations where you may need injection into the joints. The treatment is aimed at giving relief from pain and slowing down the destruction.
