Arthritis is usually considered a disease of older adults, but
nearly 300,000 children in the United States suffer from some form
of arthritis or rheumatic disease, such as juvenile arthritis
(JRA), fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, systemic lupus erythematosus,
scleroderma, or Kawasaki disease. Yet until now very little
information has been available to guide parents and doctors in
properly diagnosing such children.
Here is a readable, reliable guide to the common causes of bone,
joint, muscle, and arthritis pain in children, designed to help
parents and physicians understand these disorders, arrive at the
proper diagnosis, and choose the most effective treatment. In this
comprehensive resource, Dr. Thomas Lehman--the head of one of the
most prestigious pediatric rheumatology programs in the
world--offers easy-to-understand information on the causes,
symptoms, tests, and treatments for a wide variety of rheumatic
diseases and childhood pain.
Dr. Lehman writes with great clarity, providing numerous case
examples that illustrate the topic at hand and offering practical,
down-to-earth advice. Equally important, he answers the questions
that parents are most likely to ask: What should they observe in
their children? What questions should they ask their doctor? Which
tests are necessary? What risk factors should they be aware of? And
how can they help their children cope with the social and
psychological aspects of their illness. The book summarizes
diagnostic tests, discusses the most effective medications, and
discusses physical therapy, alternative therapy, and surgical
options that are available.
Clearly written, thorough, authoritative, and up-to-date, It's Not
Just Growing Pains is the definitive resource available on the
subject for parents and health care professionals, helping them to
understand the children's pain and find the best available care.
