The term “Reiter’s syndrome” refers to several disorders that primarily cause inflammation in the joints. These conditions are also known collectively as “reactive arthritis”, which reflects their tendency to occur in response to an infection on another part of the body.
In addition to pain in the joints, Reiter’s syndrome can also cause fever, loss of weight, pain in the lower back, and even eye and skin infections.
Reiter’s syndrome is often treated with a combination of medications and maintenance. Judicious use of marijuana may help make the condition a lot easier to bear for children.
