Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month: How Mountain Ice Can Reduce Pain from JA

Juvenile Arthritis (JA), also known as pediatric rheumatic disease, comprising multiple autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, affects almost 300,000 children in America. Each type of juvenile arthritis has its own unique symptoms and special concerns, but Mountain Ice Pain Relief Gel can be an effective part of any treatment plan for JA.

Types of Juvenile Arthritis

The most common type of Juvenile Arthritis is called Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, or JIA, which means that no exact cause is known. From this umbrella, there are six subtypes of JIA, though none are contagious. Currently, researchers believe that Juvenile Arthritis may be related to genetics, certain infections, and environmental triggers, and are continuing to study the multiple types of each.

    1. Systemic Onset JIA: also called Still's Disease. this causes inflammation in one or more joints and is often accompanied by a high fever and a rash in the arms or legs, that lasts for at least two weeks. About 10% of children have this type, and both boys and girls are equally affected.


    2. Oligoarticular JIA: also known as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, this affects five or fewer joints in the first six months that the child has the disease. Children with this are more likely to get chronic eye inflammation than those with other types. More common in girls than boys, many children will outgrow this disease by the time they are adults.


    3. Polyarticular JIA: inflammation in five or more joints, and can be either rheumatoid factor positive or negative. This disease occurs in 25% of children, and is also more common in girls than in boys.


    4. Psoriatic Arthritis: arthritis combined with psoriasis, which may begin years before joint symptoms like pain or swelling in joints. Children with this type of arthritis often have pitted fingernails.


    5. Enthesitis-Related JIA: characterized by enthesitis, tenderness where the bone meets a tendon, ligament, or other connective tissue. This type is more common in boys between the ages of 8 and 15.


    6. Undifferentiated Arthritis: a juvenile arthritis that doesn't fit into any of the above categories, or when symptoms span more than two types.

    Symptoms of Juvenile Arthritis

    Children with Juvenile Arthritis can have no symptoms at all, or their symptoms may vary based on the type of arthritis that they have. These symptoms may include:

      • Joint stiffness.
      • Pain, swelling, or tenderness in the joints.
      • Limping or loss of motor skills.
      • Persistent fever.
      • Rash.
      • Weight loss.
      • Fatigue.
      • Irritability.
      • Eye redness or eye pain.
      • Blurry vision.

      While there is no test that is specific to Juvenile Arthritis, the diagnosis is made based on the exclusion of other conditions that may cause similar symptoms.
