Help with the pain of arthritis-erythromelalgia.

It is also known as Erythermalgia. It is extremely uncommon, although it may run in families.

Most children are around 10 years of age when they present with the disease. It is more frequent in girls.

The disease is characterized by burning sensation with warm, red and swollen feet or, less commonly, hands.

The symptoms worsen upon exposure to heat and are relieved by cooling the extremity, to the point that some children refuse to remove their feet from ice water. The course is unrelenting.

Avoiding heat and vigorous exercise seem the most useful therapeutical measures. The disease in children does not usually respond to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, which have proved useful in adults. Vasodilators may help.
