My doctor said that I have poly-arthritis, whatever that means, I have to do some research and figure out what the heck it is.

polyarthritis is arthritis in more than one joint...the full name for my disease is Polyarticular Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis...because when it developed it was in more than one joint and i was under 16 when i got it and it's RA.

Is it RA or OA?

funny thing...my Rheumy didn't dx me with it...my PCP did. My Rheumy pretty much did NOTHING for me. He dx'd me with fibro and told me to have a nice life cause he wasn't going to do any treatment for me. I only saw him once. So I'll have to talk to my PCP about it.

My mom has arthritis in her back.


I have arthritis, a lot of places. Especially in my shoulders.
