Hi again. Here is an update: pediatrician says his pain is "episodic" so no referral. She ordered some lab tests which I'll get soon, but she left a message and said they came back "normal."

Knee pain is back again today and impairing his movement. It is frustrating to not trust the course a doctor is taking. I'm glad the wintergreen/peppermint oils are helping and he is able to move better again.

I would love advice for parenting a child who is HLA-B27 positive and has had joint and back pain periodically since he was 3.

Good to see you all again!
