Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Jordon is having a very bad flare up with his JRA, he can barely walk and is in a lot of pain, very swollen and hot to touch but not red. We called the on call DR. on Friday and he told us to put warmth on it which we did, but Jordon couldn't stand it and screamed the entire time it was on(it wasn't hot Jordon has SPD), when Jordon got worse within 24hrs we called the on call DR. again, but all he did is put Jordon on 10 mg of prednisone a day which isn't helping, the only thing it is doing is making his Glucose readings go threw the roof, so he has to have extra insulin. The on call doctor also said that we can call his regular Doctor on Monday and see if he wants to do Jordon's injection's earlier than planned, and get an appointment with him on Tuesday hopefully. He has the injections planned for the end of the month for his ankles, knees, wrists, and knuckles. I don't know what else to do for Jordon he is in a lot of pain and crying most of the day. Does anyone have any suggestion's other than putting warmth on it? , Bryon, Jordon 9(Type 1 Diabetes, JRA, Epilepsy, Sensory Processing Disorder, DD), 8(Epilepsy, Congenital Heart Defect).
