Chris,

All I know is that Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis show up in blood tests. Arthritis sometimes will show up better in an MRI that regular ex ray. I will keep you in my prayers.

'thomasann' is correct. Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis show up in blood tests. They do often show up better in an x-ray or MRI.

When I was in junior high, I was diagnosed with arthritis in my knees and back. I was in extreme pain. But, within a couple of years, I was actually feeling better. All I did was baby the areas, and not overdo or over-stress them. I then became able to maintain my normal high school activities.

I will hope that your daughter gets pain-free soon! Not much fun being a young person with "any" type of illness, and dealing with chronic pain.

You take care.

Amy

Oh, bless her little heart.

I hope they can find a solution and it's nothing permanant. I'll keep her in my prayers.

Chris, I don't know what to tell you. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers so that the Doctors will find out what's causing her pain.

May your troubles be less, Your blessings be more. And nothing but happiness come through your door!
