leg pain lupus

I have been having many odd symptoms over the past year but the one that is killing me is severe leg pain. I do have lupus but I was told the leg pain is not related to the lupus. The leg pain is in my butt muscle, thighs (all the way around) and in the calves. I have also had muscle jerking/twitching that comes and goes but when it happens it is usually when I lay down and relax, and is always in my legs. Also when I take a hot bath or shower my legs feel very stiff to where I can hardly walk.

43 yr female, have leg numbness, w/ feeling. Started 2wks ago, I had gone to gym did upper body workout no obvious injury. Later in day after evening walk noticed numb feeling no pain this is in both legs, for some reason my heels have odd sensation too. I have anxiety, and have had panic attacks. Went to ER, Dr parethesia and to follow up with my doctor (appt. Tue.) Scared of als, ER Dr had me walk on toes & heels, said if I could do that I couldn't'have it.

s not red but it is painful when I sit down but the difference right now is the pain is going down my whole left leg to the bottom of my foot in the back of my leg which I did have a possible blood clot in when my Lupus first went out of remmission but with my herpes all I've had is the burning,itching and swollen glands which also happens with my Lupus when it's flared up. PLEASE HELP ME.

This is really interesting to me, My main issue with fibromyalgia is leg pain and fatigue! I have leg pain 24/7 but somedays are better then others, everyday is a challenge. I also have an elevated heart rate and higher then normal blood pressue latly, my resting heart rate is 95, doctors dont seem to ever wonder why or care about it. But As a medical professional i know its not good, and is a sign something is wrong. Have you found anymore research on this?

80 with speckled pattern is characteristic of lupus. Systemic lupus can manifest as pain in hands and feet with stiffness, swollen joints and fatigue. Nothing can be said for sure without a clinical exam. I would suggest you to consult a good specialist in your area. Let us know if you have any questions. http://www.itzarion.com/lupusana.

Sorry to hear you have Lupus as well. My Dr. said it could be the Lupus, or several other things, MS being one of them. I have a family history of MS.

I read that you treat chronic pain. I take Fentenyl patches for chronic pain lupus IC rhem arthritis osteoporosis and 5 herniated disc I need two need two replacements and just had surgery for a broken leg I use MSIR for breakthrough pain and am able to function without the meds I would not get out of bed or be able to function. DO you think this regimeine under a doctors supervision is a good one for pain control or do you have a better suggestion?

I'm a limbo lander but i have Lupus issues like Raynauds feet and hands, the Lupus discoid circular rash on both legs and one on my back, Livedo Reticularis, chilblains (suspected lupus chilblains), mouth ulcers, light sensitive, joint swelling without arthritis, recurring kidney issues, IBS and very bad circulation issues along with...

Also, I have leg pain, leg weakness(feels like my legs weigh 1000 pounds each), extreme fatigue, crippling vertigo(feels like I am on a boat), and a 10 month history of uveitis. Now, just recently, I went outside sat in sun. I was wearing blue jeans but I had a tshirt on. My arms broke out in a rash. I thought maybe my lotion....but my friend said wouldnt the rash be everywhere if it was lotion? So my question to you is can the ana change and can you have lupus with a negative ana?

First, the possibility is of heart related as you have swelling in legs, rapid heart rate and low BP. Secondly, as you have back and leg pain that may originate due to slipped disc or disc prolapse conditions and symptoms may originate due to nerve root pressure, pressure on the spinal cord and pressure on the tail bone. Common symptoms could be paralysis of muscles, pain radiating to the arms or legs, leg pain and numbness, tingling, or weakness. .

I posted this in Lupus forum as well. My legs are killing me, deep throbbing pain. My dr has increased my steriods...which I hate (goody for me)...and will not give me anything stronger for pain because my kidney function test came back way to high. I am in agony...are there any natural things I can try like acupuncture? Has anyone used them, do they work?

Well, he lost 30 pounds in 3 weeks and finally went back in the hospital where they ran tests and discovered he had nerve damage in his leg that may take up to a year to heal. He is in severe pain and trying to do physical therapy but can only walk a short distance with a walker. He also has other issues due to lupus that he has had for 10 years and has affected his kidneys. I am just wondering what caused the nerve damage. We can't seem to get an answer from any of the doctors.

why is my daugther experiencing this type of knee pain. why has the leg gotten smaller than the other leg. why is the leg tender in the back area of the thigh. what is this called. she has not fallen. she is now walking with a limp from being a healthy girl running around.

But with in the last year I started noticing other pain at first I thought it was related to my back. I would have really bad knee pain with no injury, no swelling, and no visible problem. Well that lasted a couple months them just went away., then it was my hips, then my wrist which my doc thought it was carpotunnel. So I had the nerve test done kin that and there was no damage to the nerves.

I have RA and Arthritis, there was no pain with the RA and all the pain with the arthritis. The pain is worrysome but it is worse the less I do. It hurts to get moving, but I am moving because of the consequences of not moving which will be permanently sitting in a wheel chair. At 53 you are not over the hill, you can still put together a non weight bearing exercise program with your doctor for you to use at home.

I'm having all over pain and spasms in my left knee/leg. I've been diagnosed with lupus and auto-immune hepatitis.

I was diagnosed with graves disease in 2002, but my thyroid levels have balanced out and and I am no longer taking PCU. I have been suffering from leg pain mainly right leg, but will sometimes switch to left leg or both at the same time. The leg pain usually occurs out of no where, the cold only makes it worst. The pain is often so painful that it is unbearable to walk. I remember have this leg pain as far back as 7yrs old.

Hi everyone - I saw the GP today for both follow up and to ask about new symptoms. She is such a love - listens to everything I say, is so thorough..I told her about leg pain/weakness, the horriblw pain in my side and back that has been here now for over 2 weeks (it waxes and wanes) and showed her the swollen lymph nodes in groin and armpit (and symptoms of bad night sweats. low grade fever, etc). So, to cover everything she oredered CT Scan on lungs, abdomen area and pelvic area.

I've been on this forum before about taking hyrdros for pain and abusing them as well and wanting to get off of them. The pain I've been experiencing often has been linked to Lupus and Osteoarthritis according to all the doctors I've been seeing as they told me this Monday. I'm trying to keep strong but i'm battling depression as well from all this medical ********.

Does anyone happen to know if there is any connection between Lupus & A.L.S. (Lou Gehrig's Disease)? My father passed away from A.L.S. I'm diagnosed with Lupus. ...Wondered if there is some kind of link genetically? For that matter, have often wondered and can't seem to get a good answer, is there any reason to believe that Lupus is often mistaken for A.L.S., at least in the early stages? Thanks.

The pain in pretty disabling. The wound on my leg is very slowly healing but the rash is very persistent. It is similar to large hives. However, I have ruled out an allergic reaction. It is extremely itchy and painful. What else can I do?
