Hi , I've been experiencing this type of pain for a few week now! And pains in leg muscles , sometime worse in morning , I will be mentioning to my rhyme, at next appointment!

If pains get too unbearable am going to see my gp!

Thanks for the reply cazzm -x- If it gets any worse i'll have to see GP, not to bad at moment but can feel it .. have to keep rubbing my muscles with ibuprofen gel cant take tablets ... The pain is horrific in my back .. when it started it knocked me for six .... can cope with most pain but this is worse than pregnancy back pain Sure it has something to do with my nerve endings as was laid up last weekend with sciatica ... Really hope you feel better soon .. xxx

Thanks, unfortunately all these pains an symptoms are still very new to me(2yr)...

This illness is a learning curve an no set symptoms , all differnet ! But a lot have symptoms in common! My back felt like I had pulled it , but I knew hadn't!

Some days feels like a old fashioned lace up corset on my spine and being pulled so tight!(way I describe it ) planquil helps a little as does naproxen! But nothing truly takes pains away when hit, just eases them! Hope ya feel bette soon x

Thank you so much for replies, I feel so alone at times and have been called a hypochondriac and told it was all in my head with many positive Lupus panels. I go from doctor to doctor and can't see why they won't treat me and that I am too far gone. I don't have any insurance and I am on a sliding scale and the doctors say I am too far gone with Lupus and they cannot help me. So please help me with a place to go to in South Carolina, if you know any. Thank you

Hi caitiechel ... My first GP dismissed me as just having Alopecia ... and said I was depressed :/ But the symptoms have progressed so fast I cant keep up ... It was only through my Dermatologist that it all come out ... I had a biopsy taken .... blood tests and then referred to Rheumatologist in a few weeks .. ive got an MRI next week as my knees give way and have been in pain ... so I saw another doctor who took it serious -x- Can you not see another doctor where you live? Im in the UK so dont really know of anyone overseas ... might be a good idea if you sent a message to admin on Lupus UK im sure they maybe able to help you hun ... Dont feel down, I was beginning to feel like a hypochondriac ... we know ourselves better than anyone else ... Ive rarely been to the doctors all my life but now it seems Im making up for it lol ...

Send a message hun ... God bless and stay strong -x-

Do get it checked, my Restless leg syndrome started a bit like this, I hope you don't have that, but I do think it should be investigated, good luck,
