Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
12 Year Old, Diagnosed With Crohns Disease, Joint Pain, Asthma. Recommendations?
I have a 12 yr old nephew diagnosed with Corhns's a year ago. They are now trying remicaide( ? spelling). He does have a lot of joint pain. He has always been very active until this point. He also has asthma. I would like to help him as much as I can. In researching I have found each day is different as far as their pain. I have looked for support groups for people his age. It is hard for him to understand all that is happening to him and why he can't have a normal life like the rest of the kids his age. Can you offer anything that I can do for him. thanks
