Hello @quinnfinley, I know it must be difficult for both you and your younger sister who has juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and your parents not knowing much about the condition or what treatments she will need. The Arthritis Foundation has some informational videos that might answer some of your questions here:
-- JA Explained - This series aims to provide parents and caregivers with expert tips and recommendations on topics around juvenile arthritis.

What is the most difficult symptom for your sister to manage?

@johnbishop, thank you so much for the link. My sister's main symptom is hip pain, along with fluid and swelling in her joints. She plays softball as a pitcher; she used to be the first batter in the lineup. Her pitching speed went down a lot, but she's working her way back up.

Thanks, ♥
Quinn
