Reviewers’
comments
“Dr.
Tom Lehman’s
experience and compassion are evident on every page of this book, and they help
guide the reader—child,
parent, and healthcare professional alike – through the world of childhood arthritis. This book is an absolute gem written with a
single goal in mind: improve the lives
of kids with arthritis.”
-- Jack Klippel, M.D. President and CEO of the
Arthritis Foundation
“Dr. Lehman has given parents and families of children with
arthritis the first book that speaks to the parent and child as equals. His book explains the illnesses, the
medications, the lab tests, and the disease course in simple, understandable
lay language and givens them valuable insight into how a pediatric
rheumatologist thinks. Bravo!”-- Charles Spencer, M.D., Professor of Clinical Pediatrics,

"A must have for any family with a child who has a rheumatic
disease! I personally found this book to very informative. Dr. Lehman, as
always, gives families a clear understanding of their choice of treatments and
what they can expect from their child's rheumatic disease."—Kathy
Gaither, Juvenile Scleroderma Network, Inc.
“This comprehensive
guidebook is a must-read for pediatricians and health care professionals who
treat children and adolescents. For parents of children who have already been
diagnosed with rheumatic disease, as well as children who have baffling,
undiagnosed symptoms, this book will be a valuable resource."—Enid
Engelhard, CSW, Director of Social Services, S.L.E. Foundation, Inc.
“Navigating the health
care system as an adult can be daunting, but doing so with a child who has a
rheumatic disease can be a particularly anxiety-provoking experience for the
entire family. Education is the key to understanding and to reducing the stress
and fear that goes along with caring for an ill child. Dr. Lehman's book
provides a thorough explanation of disease process, therapeutics, diagnostics
and coping strategies all in a very friendly easy to read manner. The
Scleroderma Foundation is excited about this guide and believes that it would
be a great addition to the family library and to providing the insight
necessary to becoming an informed, effective partner in their child's
care."--Donna Kohli,
President & CEO, Scleroderma Foundation

It’s Not Just Growing Pains is a guide to the common causes
of bone, joint, muscle, and arthritis pain in childhood for both parents and
professionals. It will help
parents of children with JRA (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) and other bone and
joint conditions understand what they need to know. It will help them make sure these children
have the proper diagnosis, and help them to understand the blood tests and
other diagnostic procedures that are being done. Most importantly it will help them make sure
they get the best possible results for their children. This book is a
valuable resource for both parents and professionals. It is written by a physician with over
twenty-five years experience in helping children with musculoskeletal diseases
and their families’ lead normal happy lives.
There are no similar resources for the non-professional or
non-specialist. It was written because
the biggest obstacle to children doing well is the lack of knowledge about
childhood rheumatic diseases on the part of parents, orthopedists, and
pediatricians. If these
children are properly recognized specialists in childhood rheumatic diseases
can make a big difference.
The book includes chapters on how to
evaluate pain in different areas of the body, different types of sports
injuries, juvenile arthritis, Lyme disease,
fibromyalgia, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, Raynaud’s
phenomenon,
