A member asked:
Have lupus. had fatigue, joint pain, muscle aches for 1 week then & went away.all labs normal. my rheumatoligist didn't 't think lupus flare. virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle aches + lupus: A viral infection could cause a temporary muscle achiness that could be unrelated to lupus. If the muscle pain has resolved, than that is reassuring. If you continue to have muscle pains, than evaluation with blood work to check on the muscle tests would be indicated.
