This sounds like an autoimmune disorder. Arthritis like this can come from Lyme disease and also some vaccines.

Strep can attack joints too. So I am thinking the doctors will explore these options.
She has been tested for Lyme and it came back negative.

I agree, it just might be an autoimmune thing.

I wonder if this might be an allergic reaction to the antibiotics she was given while she had the strep (back in August)??

thanks much
