Arthritis does not only affect adults. Children can get it, too. When they do, it's called Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). Help us spread the word this July. #JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis #JIA #chronicillness #chronicpain #GRASP #tRi

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is an arthritis that starts before age 16, lasting at least 6 weeks, and causing severe joint pain and inflammation in children. #JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis #JIA #JIAAwarenessMonth #chronicillness #chronicpain #GRASP #tRi

#Oligoarticular #JIA is the most common type of JIA. It affects up to 4joints, often in the knees, ankles & wrists, & can go away over time. Children with JIA can also develop #uveitis, so regular eye checks are needed. #JIAAwarenessMonth #chronicillness #chronicpain #GRASP #tRi

Polyarticular JIA is the second most common type of JIA. It affects 5 or more joints, comes on suddenly or slowly, and has symptoms similar to adult Rheumatoid Arthritis. #JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis #JIA #JIAAwarenessMonth #uveitis #chronicillness #chronicpain #GRASP #tRi
