Stuck due to joints

Help! I started well despite having to take steroids for Lupus and after working hard counting calories, joining the gym and doing yoga weekly I lost 14 pounds (took four months). Unfortunately exercising made my lupus flare up and both my wrists and one ankle are so sore they feel broken. I can't even push a door and switching a light on is painful. I have had to give up on the gym and yoga and now my calorie counting isn't making any difference and I'm stuck. I can't go lower as it makes me feel unwell (doing about 1400 a day. I am guessing there will be no answers for this but if anyone has managed it on steroids and with joint issues please help as I have another stone to lose and need to for health
