This is a chronic inflammatory condition. Normally it does occur in children. And it can last a lifetime. That's probably what's happening with you.
Medical treatments are as follows: Nonsteroidal medicines are a mainstay of therapy. Bisphosponates ( i.e. Fosamax, Aredia) are also useful. For severe cases, corticosteroids and antimetabolites such as methotrexate have been used.
if you have tried all the medical treatments listed above, you will have to ask your doctor about other treatments. A TENS unit may be very helpful in controlling the pain. Ask your doctor about this.
