Guest guest Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 My daughter has complained with her knee hurting off and on since she was 3. Every dr that I had mentioned it to like yours just past it off. This lst time about 6 weeks ago we thought it was Leviquin but 2 weeks after being off of it they still hurt. went intothe hospital 2 weeks ago and at that time the I told the dr again that they were still hurting . ( I knew that joint pain is common with cfers to some extent) HE told us that when these kids have moreof a lung exaserbation(sp?) the infecton with also effect the joints. After just a few days on IV antibiotics her knees quit hurting.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 hi michelle, my son has the same thing and he is 6, soon to be 7. children with CF sometimes develop athritis.if there is redness or swelling of the joint ,that's when i would see a rumatologist. i give motrin and i rub his legs. these are some of the things the doctors don't tell you about. good luck. janelle,mom of 6wcf. ps. sorry about the spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
