July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month


Many people think that children and adolescents do not get arthritis, but inflammatory and rheumatic diseases can develop in children younger than 16. Growing up with arthritis can be hard for children and their families. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has resources to help you learn more about juvenile arthritis, such as the CDC Childhood Arthritis page. This page describes the signs and symptoms of childhood arthritis and when to contact your doctor.
