Going back and forth to different doctors. I did not get any results. So I struggled with the pain all over skin, and under skin is so painful to touch. I strugle eververy day and I mean every day with deep throbbing pain in my left foot upper area near fold, it sends throbbing pain to my left lower leg , I struggle with severe muscle pain with any type of movement , my left leg is more painful, theres more to add on but I have to stop.

Answer 1

I understand what you've been going through with rheumatologists, they love to give medicine. It's quite a combination you have been taking. No wonder you don't feel any better.

What you need is physical therapy mainly, a good massage therapist to work out the pain you are experiencing. I have Fibromyalgia and many other conditions and the only thing that really keeps me going is massage therapy.

See if you can get your rheumatology doctor to recommend a physical therapy group that will be hopefully covered by your insurance. If not try and locate one on your own. I guarantee you will feel much better when you get regular massage therapy .

If you have any questions please let me know,

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a prolonged, multisystem, inflammatory ailment of possible autoimmune etiology, going on predominantly in younger females. Common manifestations comprise arthralgias and arthritis; malar and different epidermis rashes; pleuritis or pericarditis; renal or CNS involvement; and hematologic cytopenia. Diagnosis calls for scientific and serologic standards. Treatment of extreme ongoing energetic sickness calls for corticosteroids, frequently hydroxychloroquine, and typically immunosuppressants. There isn't any healing for SLE. Treatment is aimed toward controlling signs. Your character signs examine your remedy.
