knee pain lupus

i have been diagnosed with tumid lupus erythematosus. could this be causing my hip knee shoulder chest pain?

Hi, Im Chris. I have Sle, and run an autoimmune/lupus support group, but had not heard much about this. But being the curious researchng type I had, and Knowing Lupus in the various form I do, I had a hunch, and had to find the answer. so I looked, lol. what else could I do. The answer seems to be YES. Because though You mainly have TLE, you probablly do have some degree of SLE, or are now begining to present with classic SLE signs as well. Or another autoimmune disease Like sjogrens.

In all my years of owning or moderating Lupus boards NOTHING suprises me when it comes to Lupus, and things that shouldnt happen always do. Im going to leave you the link to the site, that sights the possibilites however mild of other Lupus features appearing from SLE with TLE

From eMedicine.com

Approximately 50% of SCLE patients have accompanying joint involvement.
Arthralgias are common, often symmetrical, and usually affect small joints such as hands and wrists.
Arthritis may occur but is unusual (<2%).
Patients commonly complain of fatigue.
Some patients have Sjögren syndrome, while others note dryness of their eyes and mouth.
Patients may manifest symptoms of SLE; therefore, the history should include an assessment for symptoms of pleuritis, pericarditis, neurologic involvement, and renal impairment

Good Luck
