Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) is a condition that affects children under the age of 16. It is a form of arthritis that causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the joints. It can cause potential damage to the joints, leading to poor physical and mental health. JRA is a chronic, long-term condition that requires ongoing treatment and support for those who suffer from it. Early diagnosis and treatment is important for preventing permanent joint damage or deformities. With proper control of the condition, it is possible for those affected to achieve a healthy lifestyle and even long-term remission. Treatment typically includes medications, physical therapy, and possibly surgery.
