Cecille's Creativity

Arthritis is an inflammation of a joint characterized by pain, swelling and redness. It may start with a mild ache and stiffness that may later develop to severe pain and even deformity. One type of arthritis is Still's disease. It is an arthritis that affects children. It lasts more than three months. Symptoms of Still's disease include fever, rash, abdominal pain, enlarged lymph glands and weight loss. Lasting for several weeks, these symptoms gradually give way to joint pain, swelling and stiffness that appear several years. There is, however, a chance that the patient may develop permanent stiffness and joint deformity.
