Synovitis??

After talking to the pediatrician, he thinks Ryker might have post-viral synovitis. A few weeks ago (on January 19th to be exact) Ryker ran fever for about 4 or 5 days and had a little bit of runny nose and cough. The pediatrician talked with a rheumatologist and they think his body might have just overreacted to the virus - causing swelling in his joints. They are putting him on a prescription anti-inflammatory (Naprosyn) and we are going to try to see the rheumatologist next week. I hope the Naprosyn works better than the every 6 hour Motrin.... it seemed to help at first but after a day or two he seemed to get worse again.
