Does this sound like jia?

i came across this forum by googling in frustration of trying to figure out my daughters condition. I have a few questions and I’m hoping you can help. My daughter started having sudden right hip pain 3 weeks ago, after 7 days they did bloodwork, found nothing, inflammation markers were normal. Did an X-ray and ultrasound which we normal. It gotten a little better, but she’s complaining about her legs or arm hurting one day and goes away the next. Mornings are the worse. She still has a limp because of the hip. We are going to do an mri but I’m terrified. Could it be JIA even though initial tests were normal? Does JIA run in the family? no one in my family has it. Do joints have to swell to consider it jia? What was your child’s diagnosis process like?
