What Are The Symptoms Of Arthritis?

My daughter is 13 years old, height - 5'3" and weight 53kg; about 4 months back she started getting some pain in her left foot near the ankle. Dr prescribed rest and pain killers, with no relief and swelling in ankle, he put a cast for a month after doing an MRI. 25 days after the cast was put, she developed swelling and pain in her left knee also. Took her to another doc, who says she has oligoarticular arthritis, advised blood tests. Rh - 1.14, haemoglobin- 12.2, ESR- 27. He started naprosyn 500 twice a day, sazo 2 tabs twice a day, wysolone 5mg once a day, folvite 5 once day - mon to fri, rantac once a day, shelcal once a day and injection folitrax 50mg - 24 units or 15mg once a week subcutaneous. What i want to know is:
1. Is she actually suffering from arthritis?
2. If yes, is her medicine and dose correct?
3. Is this condition reversible? Can she be completely cured?
4. Is this rheumatoid arthritis?
Thanks a ton for your help!

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

Accp is 98 percent specific for RA so it is more reliable for diagnosis of RA.
I will advise you to do Accp it confirm your doubt.

This can be arthritis.Medicines are very strong with lots of side effects.
Yes this condition is reversible.
If clinical and pathological reports match then early JRA diagnosis can be predicted.

I have lot of experience of patient of RA and long term results with allopathic medication are not satisfactory,so consult me directly for further assistence.
There is good role of diet and achieve correction through it,for details you can directly contact on my profile
