• What are the symptoms of juvenile arthritis?

My daughter sometimes has severe pain in her joints, mainly in her fingers. We have arthritis in our family, but I feel like she's a little too young, only 12 years old. What are the other symptoms of juvenile arthritis that I should be aware of?

Joint pain, swelling or morning stiffness are the most common symptoms of arthritis. They occur daily in the same joints for 6 weeks or more in order to meet criteria for JIA.
