Is Rheumatoid arthritis a disease of the muscular system?
No Arthritis and Rheumatoid are is not a disease of the muscles. However Arthritis can lead to muscular damage as a result of muscular atrophy as pin stops people from using muscles around affected joints. I have noticed this in my self. I had a total elbow replacement to my right arm, before I had trouble with that arm I was able to lift extremely heavy weights and even the grip of my hand was very strong as a result of RA I started to avoid exerting these muscles, this in turn started them wasting away. now that I have had an elbow replaced which was the main source of the pain I am able to get all of the muscles from the biceps down to the wrist back into some sort of working order. It is understandable that people feel Arthritis may be a muscular disorder , however it is only a disorder that has a secondary affect on muscles.

What is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis?
What is juvenile rheumatoid arthritisArthritis that occurs in people under the age of 16 is referred to as juvenile arthritis. "Juvenile arthritis" covers a number of different types of arthritis in children. The most prevalent type is called "juvenile idiopathic arthritis" or JIA, and also called "juvenile rheumatoid arthritis" (JRA) or "juvenile chronic arthritis" (JCA). A child can be struck by this disease at any age from babies onwards. It may present with only mild symptoms or it may start with a severe full blown attack. Many children, while suffering some discomfort and pain from this disease, are able to get on with normal lives. However, for others it can be a very debilitating condition accompanied by pain and limited mobility in everyday activities. As there is still no cure for juvenile arthritis we can only treat the symptoms in an effort to limit pain and damage to joints and other tissue. For some children the symptoms of arthritis may disappear for a time, or the arthritis may even go into remission entirely. Others will continue to have arthritis into their adult years.About 250,000 children are said to have JRA in the USA.Arthritis Arthritis is a very painful chronic illness. I should know, I am a thirteen year old who has had it since the age of eight. It causes joint pains. There is no way to tell if you can outgrow it. It usually stays for the rest of your life.For more information, contact the Arthritis Foundation or visit their website: arthritis.orgAlso here is a article of a older brother's story of what happens when a younger brother gets arthritis: URL moved to discusion section
