How does joint pain start in people with Lupus?


How does joint pain start in people with Lupus?

I'm not sure I understand, do you mean what does it feel like? Or what causes it?

For me it started with an ache in my hips and knees climbing stairs. 3 days later my fingers were swollen and wrists hurt and my knees and hips hurt constantly. By the end of the week I couldn't lie comfortably to sleep and couldn't sit with legs bent. Couldn't drive cause I couldn't turn my head. Week after that I couldn't walk, lift a drink, put my arms out and needed help with everything. Couldn't get rid of the pain despite max dose of loads of painkillers.

That was 3 years ago. Now I need some help and walk with a stick still, but I can work! And enjoy most of the things I used to.

If you're concerned speak to your doctor. There are lots of illness with joint pain as symptom, including flu! It's probably nothing serious, if it is, it's workable. Email me if I can help!
