Hello everyone, I have had Lupus and Underactive Thyroid for over 10 years, fully medicated on methotrexate and pleqenil etc and so am now used to the ever-changing symptoms and general aches and pains, but for the past 4 months I have had a significant pain in the left hand side of my neck and arm. It never disappears but is sometime more painful than others. I am due an MRI scan and am having physio but this is driving me mad. I am having awful nights sleep and it is now starting to make me feel really unwell as its gone on for so long. Has anyone else experienced this with their Lupus or have I just got 'another' thing to try and manage - just more painkillers aghhhh ..............
