A member asked:
All tests for lupus and arthritis come back normal each time. however, i have a lot of fluid retention everyday as well as joint pain. other causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluid retention?: Fluid retention is not associated with autoimmune disease unless the kidneys have been damaged (Lupus). Perhaps your salt intake is too high. As for your joint pain, you need to consult an orthopedist to find out the cause.
