Common Questions and Answers about Foot pain lupus
foot
Also swelling along ball of foot and inside of foot at base of arch. I have periodic tingling. The pain is dull and constant with periodic shoot, stabbing pain. My foot also gets extremely cold. I went to an ortho. Had several X-rays and a MRI. No fractures. The MRI showed some arthritic changes along with some autoimmune factors. I have been tested for RA, Lupus, etc and all bloodwork came back normal except for a Vit. D deficiency. I also am tired all of the time.
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 generally not felt well for about 3 years.
A month ago I had fatique so bad I stayed in bed all day...I never do that.

I am taking Naproxyn, Plaquenil, Evoxac, Amytriptilene (for sleep issues), Baclofen and Tramadol. I was having lots of bone, joint and muscle pain, in addition I have foot pain, gastritis, hiatal hernia, heel pain, peripheral neuropathy, dry mouth, localized muscle atrophy and so on. After fighting doctors for 5+ years, I finally got a decent rheumy who got my meds lined out and I am doing pretty well.
Low B12 can cause some tingling sensations. It's possible the low D could be causing the bone pain. I too have the same foot pain you described and don't know what might be causing it. I have lupus and think it flares up severely when I have a lupus flare. My dr. thinks it's platars fisitis. But that usually comes w/ heel pain. Mine is in the arch of the foot and where the toes meet the ball of my foot.
Did you dr. have any explaination on why your D was low?
ve been dealing with some tingling in my right foot and discomfort when sitting down. (I initially thought i was sitting on my testicles or something).
The doctor informed me it wasn't sciatica which i thought it was originally and the big muscle that was causing me problems sitting down apparently is the upper hamstring being really tight? I've done some stretching and now I can sit comfortably, however, time to time the tingling in the right foot comes back.

I know that joint pain is a definite symptom of lupus. As well as mouth ulcers, hair falling out, muscle pain, headaches, nausea, and diarrhea. There are 11 criteria for a lupus dx. One must have 4 in order to get dx. You don't have to have all 4 at the same time. Sometimes this takes a little time, so be very patient.

everyone is sick of me saying I am tired, my head hurts, my back hurts, my foot is tingling or my hip hurts. I asked him for something for the headache pain, he said no, he doesn't know what the ER gave me- which was nothing. He then told me to call my neurologist about the headache pain, but said she might not do anything until the blood work comes back regarding the Lupus test.

She had a rheumatologist review the 17 blood test results and the rheumatologist said that it was Lupus. I was started on prednisone immediately. Since being on the prednisone the pain/tightness in chest, joint pain, and fatigue have improved quite a bit, but the rest of the symptoms have not. Then my new brain MRI came back and it showed: "Impression: Nonspecific scattered (about 5 total number) small, less than 5 mm, bilateral frontal lobe white matter lesions without enhancement.
