Anyone Who Might Know About This Subject

Totally not trying to freak you out....
My friend's son had an injurty where he fell off of a scooter.
He hurt his knee, but nothing serious. It just never got better. Same thing you are talking about. No certain reason, it would just happen.
She finally took him to the doctor after about a month and he was diagnosed wtih Leukemia. He has been battling it for 3 years, just had his 3rd transplant.
If she is not getting better then she needs to be looked at.

Well I spent 8 months with an 8 year old kid who was totally unable to walk, before I finally got a referral and an appointment with a rheumatologist. S I would demand that first if I were you. We spent tons of money on orthotics and physical therapy and such BEFORE we ever got some real answers. It is really common for girls to have their knees affected by JRA and if it is just the one, it really will probably not be a big deal. 70% of the kids that receive initial aggressive treatment and can be put into remission for JRA will never suffer from another flare up. We have had treatment for about 18 months, we have been able to come off of some medications. We have suffered from two minor flares, but I remain hopeful. My thoughts and prayers are with you mama. If you need to talk feel free to PM me or e-mail me. If interested I will give you my email in a PM. I felt really alone when my son was hurting and I was fighting for options.

There's a ton of work being done on inflammation and natural solutions to it - including studies on epigenetics (basically getting the genes in each cell to switch on and off correctly, as nature intended). If you are willing to do some safe, simple supplementation with your child to boost her immune system and also to reduce any inflammation, it could go a long way. That doesn't mean you ignore medical issues or refuse testing, but why not strengthen her and give her some great cellular nutrition while working through these other issues? If the nutritional way works, great. If it doesn't solve all the problems, she's still got an essential foundation for moving forward. Happy to chat further if you like.

What part of the knee? I ask because the muscles on the side of the knee are about the weakest muscles in a female's body. It is because of the way our hips and legs are shaped.

My daughter tore the muscles on both sides of her knees several years ago and it took a long time to heal.

I have been dealing with a similar problem with one of my daughters, but it isnt just her knee.
She complains off and on with her leg, knee, ankle, foot (top or bottom or both). We have mentioned it to the Dr., but even with keeping a journal of complaint times, places, activities, even foods, he kind of just brushed it off.
My mom said that if it is muscle cramps to give her pickle juice. I still have no idea what it is and it happens day and night, about 2-7x a month, usually in a cluster of days, then nothing for a while.
I am interested to see what answers you get! Sorry I cant help, but thanks for posting the question.

Sending you prayers for the very best for your little girl and for you.

Knee problems are almost always difficult. My daughter has problems and has had surgery twice and will again. Painful!

Prayers of Healing.
