[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 208404, member: 1233"] I am sorry he is hurting. I have read many articles and books on juvenile arthritis and other joint/muscle issues. Most all of them say that growing shouldn't hurt, and any persistent ache should be checked by a doctor. In my experience, even ortho docs brush off a lot of things as "growing pain". Even if they have persisted for months (or years like my thank you's knee aches - which are caused because his joints are hypermobile.) Get the joints checked. We actually got more help on the joints from the Occupational Therapist (OT) who did his evaluation than anyone else. She is the one who keyed in on the hypermobile joints, and showed us how far past "normal" they moved. So she showed us ways to massage, and how to help him learn to move more normally, with-o hyperextending his joints. Maybe an Occupational Therapist (OT) or PT would be able to help some. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
