'It started in my knee': What it's like having arthritis at 15
Mikayla McDermott was a toddler when she was diagnosed with arthritis. "Many people don't really think children can get arthritis, so when you tell someone they're kind of confused and don't really understand it," Mikayla said. Dr Singh-Grewal said it was "disturbing" many health care professionals were not well informed about the condition and did not think of it when they saw children with muscular skeletal complaints. "In fact, research we have done shows many children who develop juvenile arthritis present with symptoms to four or five different professionals before the diagnosis is even thought of," he said. "I have juvenile arthritis in the eyes so I basically can't see anything in my left eye," he said.
