morgan617 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 As many of you know, my son has had arthritis and crohn's since he was 11. He is 24 now. Today after 12 years they have finally decided to put him on humira to try and stop the progression. He is already fused in the left SI joint and has squaring of the vertebrae all over his lower back with narrowing and degenerative changes. Now it's in his hip too,,, I have been fighting with his doctors for years and finally they are doing something...hoorah Please keep your fingers crossed and for those of you that pray, that it will help him...thanks jakesmommomorgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
