A member asked:
Do lupus patients experience torn tendons more easily than non lupus patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normally: Tendinitis is more common but torn tendons are not a typical feature of the disease. They can sometimes occur after injections, with steroid therapy, or with certain other medications. Sle can also cause almost anything even though this would be unusual.
