Question
An 8-year-old girl has been experiencing chronic knee and elbow joint pain. She was previously diagnosed with growing pains, but after examination, it was ruled out that she has rheumatoid issues. Recently, her pain has intensified and occurs more frequently, and the cause is unclear.
Answer
The doctor analyzes that the girl’s pain may be due to growing pains, but the addition of calcium supplements has not improved the situation, so the possibility of rheumatoid arthritis and tendon injury needs to be ruled out. It is recommended to undergo further examination to determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment advice.
