Is there a relationship between UTIs and arthritis?My daughter (age 6) is having problems with her urinary tract. In trying to figure out what is going on, I was given a message from a nurse that my daughter's doc had said if she had more symptoms this weekend, to take her into the after-hours clinic and tell them he had an order on file for a blood test to check for arthritis (the nurse said specifically arthritis, pause, rheumatoid arthritis). Anyone know more about this?

Aww, sorry to hear about that Flor.
Hopefully it's just an infection and the doc is just ordering the test to rule out all other possibilities before they can give you a definite answer as to what it is.

never heard of it Flor have the doctor check her and get second opinions if possible, i hope your little one feels better soon :)
