A member asked:
Sciatic pain for ~5 months with muscle spasms. disk problems ruled out by mri. could it be related to/caused by lupus (sle) (directly or indirectly)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not enough info: It is difficult to say without a more thorough history and exam and ability to review the mri. Speak to your own rheumatologist.
