Parker Hilt Palindromic Juvenile Arthritis Youth Honoree Parker’s arthritis journey started when he was 6 years old. His shoulder started hurting, and he was not able to move his arm without horrific pain. Thankfully, the pain went away after a few days just as mysteriously as it appeared. Then a few months later it happened again, several days of horrific pain and gone again like magic. This continued a few times until it moved to his knee. The pain was so difficult he could not do anything. Even the lightest touch would be very painful. The doctors tried every test but could not find the reason for the pain. Then finally, over a year after my first signs of pain, the amazing doctors at Children’s Hospital were able to confirm that Parker had juvenile arthritis.
