I found what I was talking about..

" It's impossible to make a diagnosis on information over the internet, but

the most likely answer is reactive arthritis. There is no such thing as

pauciarticular arthtritis in teenagers. That is a spondyloarthropathy which

is closely

related to reactive arthritis.

-Dr. Lehman "

Is that true?

I don't know - was diagnosed at 13 with pauciarticular in his

ankles. He does have more symptoms that are spondy related, with his

back, now his knuckles on his hands, the lower back, that may be what

the dr is saying - as kids get older they show more symptoms that go

with spondy rather than the joint pain of pauci. Chris' ankles have

really improved compared to the other symptoms, to the point where they

don't really bother him all that much. However when he is given the

script for blood work, in diagnosis the dr puts JRA most of the time,

sometimes spondy. I am going to read the article myself and see what I

think. You said in JRAWorld right? Thanks for the info, Michele
