Diagnose with lupus and having a lot of joint pain what can i do to relieve pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treat the lupus: And make sure you don't have a coexisting problem like rheumatoid arthritis. Oddly, autoimmune disease can be comorbid and cross over into the spectrum of other discreet autoimmune disorders. So lupus patients can also develop rheumatoid arthritis. It defies the usual medical logic. See rheumatology and get on a disease modifying treatment. It is life saving and spares your joints too.
