My son had his appointment with the rheumatologist today. DD and I came down with a stomach bug this weekend, so hubby had to take the day off and take the boy to the doctor's. We'd been waiting for this appointment for months, so I was not going to reschedule. Let's see- she gave him a prescription for Naprocin (Alleve) to take daily, ordered a joint survey (x-rays of all of his joints), and told us to get him on an exercise regimen to increase flexability and strength. The good news is that he does not have arthritis at this time, and he may never develop it if we're careful. He goes back iat the end of February.
