My daughter just got a diagnosis today, but it all started a week ago, on saturday she had pain in her ancle, then sunday the rash came up and her ancle was swollen but her knee hurt, now today i get her from school to go to the doctor and there is pain and swelling in her knee. They are making her an appt to see a rhuematologist at the beginning of next week. She stays tired and her leg hurts. the only symptoms she has this far is rash, and arthritus. all her blood work is good and her kidneys are fine right now. I just want to know what to expect???
I hate sending her to school because the swelling and pain come and go, in the morning she could be fine no pain or swelling and running but by the time I pick her up her knee, ancle can be swollen, hurting and shes limping when she comes out to me, she doesn't complain, just pushes through it, what can I do? What do they do for kids with hsp so that they can go to school even with the artheritis flare ups? Do they give crutches or something to help them get around?
