For a year recently my right arm knee and hand have aching really bad my consultant reluctant to refer to rheumy as only one side any ideas advice

[SarahHeney]

It is more often one sided in lupus. In RA it is generally both sides. Thats a clue for the rheumatologist when they diagnose. You need a referral to rheumatology. You GP should be gettingscans done of your hand and foot to check for inflammation. Lupus Uk have good stuff on website re joints. Print off snd take to show gp. They onky have 2 lectures on lupus during training
