Suggest Treatment For Ankle Pain For Months
Hello, I would like to find some answers out about my 10yr old daughter. She has had some severe ankl pain for about 5-6 months I have taken her in with nothing showing up on an xray. She had a MRI. Done and the doc who read it says it was a bone bruise but sent me to another doc to have it checked because of her age. He said it was nothing to be woRried about and same the same thing. Since then it has gotten worse. What can I do for it?

Hi.... by what you say I feel that your daughter might be having a Pauci articular rheumatoid arthritis.
I suggest you work up in these lines after suggesting your pediatrician that a doctor on healthcaremagic forum has suggested this.
If there is fever and occasional rash which is coming and going along with the joint pain then the diagnosis becomes all the more important. We should consider this diagnosis keeping her age also in mind because this is common in adolescence.
