Mine must've went into remission, and I only had it in my knees. Being naturally active as a teenager isn't the best thing on vulnerable knee joints. I've had my right knee joint replaced. The left knee?.... I don't know what to say about it... It does have a particle (joint mouse) near the joint that, if it gets in just the right spot, can be pretty painful. I've thought on numerous occasions of cutting my leg open in that very spot and pulling or cutting it out... People have performed self surgeries before, so it's just a matter of mind-over-matter. But the risk is too great, so I highly doubt I'd ever do such a thing.

When I was in high school or junior high there was a girl that was 2 or 3 years older than I, and she had JRA... She had to have both of her legs cut off.
