Research Notes on Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) symptoms may vary depending on the type of JRA.1 Persistent joint swelling, pain, and stiffness are the most common symptoms with all types of JRA. This is typically worse in the morning or after a nap. Depending on the type of JRA, other symptoms may include fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, anemia, swelling of the lymph nodes, eye inflammation, or a blotchy rash on the arms and legs.2
Fast Facts:
- Limping in the morning may be one of the earlier signs of possible JRA.2
- Depending on the severity and which joints are involved, some children may have growth problems.2
- A child may alternate between times of flare ups and times when symptoms disappear.1
- If you think your symptoms may be indicative of rheumatoid arthritis, this OranizedWisdom quiz may be able to help. Be sure to see your doctor with the results.
