Lupus pain: If your pain is not controlled, call your regular doctor or go back to the er for further evaluation and treatment.

Sorry! : The pain you describe is not a feature of lupus, to the extent that you have it. There are joint pains with sle, but not to the extent of most others. I would either question the dx, or look for another cause!
