Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 My daughter is 5 and has systemic JRA. Lately she has been having severe pain in her fingers and arms especially at night. Last week she cried all night and we tried everything to help her with the pain, warm baths, heating pads, tylenol but nothing worked. Out of desperation I gave her tylenol with codiene and at 5am she finally went to sleep for 4 hours. I asked her rheumy for a prescription for pain if she needed it but she refused and just wanted to up her steroids which have already caused a 25pd weight gain. Does anyone know of anything I can give her that might help with the pain. I have posted this question to the JRA list but have only got one response so far. Thanks, Tonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
