Can a 14 year old get knee arthiritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe 1:1000: Transient arthritis (sometimes seen after infections) maybe seen as often as 1:1000. 1:10000 kids may develop severe, longer lasting arthritis (i.e. Juvenile rheumatiod arth/jra, etc.) more common causes of knee pain in 14 yo include patella tendonitis, patella-femoral pain and complications from injury. Initially rest, ice, +/- compression and see dr if no improvement, increased swelling/pain.
