JIA going into adulthood
Hi all, I've had JIA since I was 18 months old, but never really grew out of it like you're meant to. I'm now 34 and still have problems with my joints and inflammatory flare ups in my left wrist and left knee. Particularly in the first year after having both my children. I get pain in my back and neck as well as because of my arthritis when I was young the whole of my right side has grown smaller than my left. For example I have a whole size difference in my feet.
I'm just wondering if anyone else on here has been through anything similar, as i dont know anyone else with arthritis apart from my grandparents as they've got older.

Just spotted this post by @Gailmoly2 another fairly new member. Similar story to yours obviously not exactly the same and @stickywicket also had her Arthritis as a child.
there are probably many more too here.
Best wishes
Ellen.
