In reply to Monica. Thanks for commenting Monica. It is hard to watch anyone suffer in pain but when it's a child that's even harder. What I love about this story is the positive approach that MOM takes.

Breaks my heart to hear of little children suffering! My niece was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis and even though she had a really tough time with it, she was a little trooper. Thank you for bringing awareness to this illness!

I had a friend in school who had juvenile diabetes. It would get bad and she’d miss a lot of school and then she’d spend a year being homeschooled and then come back to school. I felt bad for her.

This is the first time I heard about Juvenile Arthritis. I can’t imagine that some kids have gone through this pain. Conor’s story is an eye opener for parents like us.

I remember a classmate at school having this and she would be in awful pain some days, it was a shame as she loved to dance and it held her back in many ways.

As an adult dealing with rheumatoid arthritis pain, I can’t even imagine a poor child dealing with this. It’s so sad, no child should have to deal with juvenile arthritis!

Hey, thanks for sharing this info. I’d heard of juvenile arthritis before, but I did’t know anything about it. I’ll definitely be more aware of this if my kids experience unexplained pain. So glad Conor’s family was able to get that diagnosis and treatment for him!

I know someone who has this. It is seriously the worst thing ever!

This is one of those articles that really makes you stop and consider. My youngest often complains about sore feet and I brush it off but I will definitely be paying closer attention next time.
