Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 My son was diagnosed with JRA when he was 2 years old in May 1997. He was on liquid naprosyn for 5 months and then everything was quiet till November 2001 when he was 61/2 . Then he was taking voltarin and lots of supplements which are anti-inflammatory and he responded relatively quickly. In 12/03 , right after the Dr. was ready to cut back on the frequency of visits, my son has a relapse with increased swelling in his knee and ankle and noticeable pain which he never complained about before. This week the covering Dr. put him on feldene.I also continued with the supplements and he is less swollen and not complaining of pain currently I have never been in a JRA group before and would like to see what other parents are doing for their children.
