Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hello, Just wondering if anyone has had their child use knee splints at night? My daughter is three. She was diagnosed with Pauci in early September. We have been giving her Naproxen twice a day, PT twice a week (along with exercise at home every day and swimming three to four times a week). Her swelling went down initially a bit, but we haven't had much improvement since the beginning. Her range of motion for bending has improved, but not for straightening. At this point, we only see the arthritis in her right knee. Our PT recommended that we get a knee splint for nighttime use to help with this. We see the rheumy on Friday . . . has anyone else tried this? I'm new to all of this and just appreciate hearing what other people have tried. I feel thankful to have the PT and rheumy that we have and feel confident in their choices for her treatment, and mostly just wondered if anyone in the same situation felt that this helped. Thanks, Becky daughter, Abby, Pauci, 3 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
