Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Mgt: There are forms of arthritis which affect teens, and I would suggest an exam with your PCP. They may order some tests to determine if you have arthritis or refer you to an Orthopedic specialist. In the meantime, taking ibuprofen may relieve the pain.
