I am new to this board and am hoping I can find an answer to my
questions. My son (age 10) has been suffering with chronic pain of
arthritis since he was five. Is there any information available on
helping him deal with his pain. In helping us help him, and helping him
understand. He is taking 800mg Tolectic daily and will no longer take
Tylenol as he says it doesn't help anymore. On rare occasions we use
Tylenol 3 but don't want to. This helps, but like I said would rather
not have to use codine! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Greetings Susan, welcome to the Chronic Pain support message area!
I wish I had the perfect answer to your Sons problem, I do not.
Have you been in contact with Arthritis Foundation? They may be
able to provide you with some of the needed information. Here
locally to get you started if you can not find a local listing is
the one I found. It is (415) 651-4940. You might want to check
with your doctor for more information that you can learn by reading
up on the disease. Another source may be your local library.
There are no easy answers to the problem, there never are, but by
doing our own research we can begin to learn more about our
situation and help ourselves and maybe others too. I would also
encourage you to encourage your son to learn more about this
disease too. As he begins to understand more about the disease it
may be easier for him to cope with it. Anton...
P.S. I do not know you or know how much knowledge you have in this
area so I am offering this information in the blind. I hope it is
useful to you and if not to you maybe to someone else that will
read it.
