My twins have been diagnosed with hypermobility in their leg joints and more recently arthritis also in their leg joints. They are only 5 years old and i really don't know how to help them. They tend to suffer a lot of pain in the early hours and scream the whole house down. My GP has prescribed ibuprofen 5ml every night and they have been having this dosage for a year or more. I feel like I'm fighting a loosing battle, I keep getting fobbed off and would appreciate any advice of alternative ways to help with the pain. Thank you Back to top conscentity Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 10:13 am    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Jun 27, 2006 Posts: 20 I'm sorry that you and your twins are going through this pain. You may need to see more of a specialist. You may want to try going to a Rheumatologist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheumatologist Maybe they will have more options. Maybe there are options with physical therapy. I'm no expert at all, though.

They went to see a pediatrics specialist for the diagnosis he said that they will review it in 12 months. I am trying to find alternative ways of treatment for them because i don't want them to become addicted to ibruprofen. Unfortunately with this cold weather it's becoming worse during the day. Roll on summer I say! thank you again for your help. Back to top conscentity Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2008 6:24 am    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Jun 27, 2006 Posts: 20 Hmm. I have no idea if this would help your twins' condition, but I know two people who take Glucosamine for their joint pain. Both claim that, with consistant usage, their pain had improved significantly. It may be something to research.
