JIA and CRPS

I struggled with joint pain in my legs since I was 2. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder at age 3, but wasn’t formally diagnosed until I was 4. I took methotrexate and naproxen until I was in unmedicated remission in 2019/2020ish. My arthritis came back active this year (2022).
The methotrexate has caused osteopenia so I have broken a few bones in the last year and a half. After I broke my foot in four places, I had a lot of pain that medicine wasn’t helping with. I went to the hospital and I was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. I’m currently in another flare of that now.
