Is joint pain lupus erythematosus? Why systemic lupus erythematosus causes joint pain

First of all, joint pain is a common manifestation in patients with lupus erythematosus, and the vast majority of patients with lupus erythematosus experience this experience, which is a systemic symptom. At least 80 percent of people with lupus erythematosus experience drowsiness, which usually precedes symptoms such as skin lesions and joint tenderness. Drowsiness is a precursor to lupus erythematosus, with 60% of patients losing weight, often accompanied by other systemic symptoms.

Before the condition worsens, weight loss may be gradual or abrupt. More than 80 percent of patients have a feeling of fever, and most of them have a high fever. Younger patients are more likely to present with fever.

Therefore, for friends who have fever for no reason and are accompanied by systemic damage, they must seek medical attention in time.

Secondly, it does not cause joint deformation in general patients, but there are also a very small number of patients who will present joint subluxation and spasm after repeated pain and swelling of the joint, and then lead to joint deformation. In patients with lupus erythematosus, in addition to soft tissue swelling and signs of diffuse osteoporosis around the joints, articular cartilage and bone damage are rare when examined on x-rays. A small number of patients also present with erosive joint lesions similar to rheumatoid arthritis.

The damage of lupus erythematosus should not be underestimated, and I hope that it can attract the attention of the majority of patients. If friends find similar symptoms and are still unsure, they should choose to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, and check through authoritative means. Illness should not be delayed, and in order to live a healthy life, friends should be more cautious about seeking medical attention.

Patients with lupus erythematosus will have symptoms of joint pain, but if the patient has joint pain, it is not necessarily caused by lupus erythematosus, but is very likely to be caused by rheumatism and rheumatoid diseases. Lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease with a slow onset and a variety of clinical manifestations that can cause damage to many organs in the body. Lupus erythematosus is manifested by edematous erythema, hair loss, joint aches, fatigue, etc.

Joint pain doesn't mean anything, lupus erythematosus is a kind of ** disease and joint pain caused by low immunity, it may be because you are deficient in calcium, or you are not in good health.

Lupus erythematosus can cause joint pain, and many people with lupus erythematosus will have joint involvement, and some patients may even have joint swelling and pain as the first symptom.

It's not like that, it's better to go to the hospital.

Approximately 90% of people affected by systemic lupus erythematosus will have joint involvement, most of whom will have arthralgia, and some people may have arthritis, most commonly the proximal interphalangeal joints, wrist joints, knee joints, followed by ankles, then elbows and hips.

In general, the affected joints are not accompanied by bone erosion and cartilage destruction, so arthritis caused by lupus erythematosus does not cause joint deformities. Joint involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus is characterized by joint swelling or pain, often symmetrical onset. In particular, the first symptom of many patients with systemic lupus erythematosus is arthralgia, so it is easy to overlook.

Therefore, when the specific cause of joint pain cannot be found, especially when the proximal interphalangeal joint is painful, do not ignore the relevant examinations to avoid missing the diagnosis.

Let's explain the specific causes of joint pain in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Our TCM believes that all painful lesions are mostly caused by blood accumulation and qi impatency. Joint muscle pain in systemic lupus erythematosus is also caused by a lack of blood and gas.

First of all, due to the deficiency of the body, the patient is susceptible to wind, cold and dampness, and after the illness, he is unable to dispel the evil spirit, so that the evil of wind, cold, dampness and heat can gradually penetrate and stay between the joints, muscles and bones, blood vessels, and muscles, causing local qi and blood to be unsmooth, stagnant and unpassed, and pain; In addition, in the course of the onset of this disease, due to the deficiency of the five internal organs, pathological products such as phlegm drinking, water dampness, and blood stasis are produced, and these tangible substances gather but do not disperse, affecting the flow of qi and blood and causing pain.

Lupus erythematosus, as an autoimmune disease, is now very common. The disease seriously affects the image of patients and brings a great psychological burden to patients. Of course, the disease will also seriously endanger the health of patients and have a great impact on their lives.

Experts point out that many people with lupus erythematosus experience joint muscle pain, which makes it painful. So, what are the causes of arthralgia after lupus erythematosus infection? See what the experts have to say.

What causes arthralgia after lupus erythematosus infection?

Experts point out that in rheumatic diseases, most patients will have joint muscle pain, and joint muscle pain in lupus erythematosus is also very common. More than 90% of lupus erythematosus patients will have symptoms of joint and muscle pain, some have experienced joint pain several years before the onset of the disease, and some of the soft tissues around the joints are swollen, and they will feel pain and fluid accumulation to the touch, which is similar to the symptoms of acute arthritis.

Proximal knuckles, metacarpophalangeal joints, wrists, elbows, knees, and toe-joints are more common and often symmetrical. Some patients have morning stiffness.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all painful lesions are mostly caused by blood accumulation and qi impatency. Therefore, there is a saying that "if it is not general, it will hurt, and if it is general, it will not hurt". The pain in the joints and muscles of lupus erythematosus is also caused by a lack of blood and gas.

First of all, due to the deficiency of the body, the patient is susceptible to wind, cold and dampness, and after the illness, he is unable to dispel the evil spirit, so that the evil of wind, cold, dampness and heat can gradually penetrate and stay between the joints, muscles and bones, blood vessels, and muscles, causing local qi and blood to be unsmooth, stagnant and unpassed, and pain;

In addition, in the course of the onset of this disease, due to the deficiency of the five internal organs, pathological products such as phlegm drinking, water dampness, and blood stasis are produced, and these tangible substances gather but do not disperse, affecting the flow of qi and blood and causing pain.

There are many patients who are infected with lupus erythematosus, and each patient presents with different symptoms. A common symptom nowadays is joint pain, which is inconvenient for many patients. Experts point out that patients infected by the disease will face a variety of different symptoms, and joint pain is one of the symptoms, and patients should not underestimate it.

Patients should be more aware and choose carefully.

The main symptoms are arthralgia, muscle pain, recurrent low-grade fever, and a few nephritis and hematologic changes.

Lupus erythematosus: It is an autoimmune disease, most of the patients are young women, the main symptoms are butterfly-shaped light red spots on the face, fever, tiredness, joint pain, and some also have heart, kidney and other visceral lesions.

The patient, with his hands on the wall and his toes on the ground; The doctor does a good job of disinfection, wears gloves, and uses a bloodletting needle (which can be used to measure blood sugar) to prick and bleed at the Weizhong acupoint; Use a cupping device to draw out the stasis until fresh blood is seen. The Weizhong acupoint is a detoxification acupoint.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that treating symptoms does not cure diseases, as long as the symptoms can be relieved and do not affect normal life and work, it is fine.

It should be emphasized: doctors, must do a good job of disinfection and protection to prevent infection.

Lupus erythematosus (butterfly sore) can be acupuncture or moxibustion at the Xinyu acupoint.

Lupus erythematosus manifests in a variety of ways, depending on the type of lupus erythematosus and the symptoms are. For example, what are the symptoms of type ** and renal lupus erythematosus, according to the type, they are lupus erythematosus** symptoms and kidney damage, and the most characteristic lupus erythematosus symptoms are facial sphenoid erythema. You can come to my outpatient clinic in the Second Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Beijing Heping Hospital, and only by knowing your detailed medical history can we help you identify whether it is lupus erythematosus.

Guidance:

Hello, I think your phenomenon is joint pain due to too fast hormone reduction. Generally, the process of hormone reduction requires a certain amount of time and necessary conditions before the dose of hormone can be reduced.

There are many patients who have joint pain and will think that they have rheumatoid arthritis, so many patients with lupus erythematosus will be misdiagnosed

Systemic lupus erythematosus can invade many systems in the human body, and the course of the disease is repeatedly prolonged, and it can be life-threatening due to severe organ damage. Typical skin lesions are facial butterfly erythema, finger and toe erythema, and livedo reticularis. Myocardium, endocardium, and pericardium can be affected.

Kidney damage is common and is known as lupus nephritis. In addition, it also infringes on the lungs, blood, nerves, digestive and other systems and organs.

Arthralgia is extremely common in systemic lupus erythematosus, and some people can develop joint pain and swelling years before the onset of the disease, and it is often misdiagnosed as rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis. When systemic lupus erythematosus is identified, 78% of patients present with arthritis, pain, tenderness, and swelling with activity. Most patients have proximal interphalangeal joints affected, with fewer joints in the knee, wrist, metacarpophalangeal, step, elbow, and shoulder.

Joint symptoms are generally symmetrical, with about half of patients presenting with morning stiffness. About 15% of patients develop joint deformities 3 to 4 years after the onset of the disease, mainly caused by tendon and muscle lesions, and erosive destruction of bone and cartilage is rare.

About 1 3 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus have myalgia, 15% of the limbs have muscle weakness and muscle weakness, and in severe cases, muscle atrophy and reflex loss.

Since most patients with systemic lupus erythematosus have joint symptoms, some can also appear as the first symptom of lupus erythematosus, and the most common site is the proximal interphalangeal joint, which is symmetrical on both sides; In later stages, the joints will also be deformed; Rheumatoid factor can be positive, which can easily be misdiagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis as a joint lesion of systemic lupus erythematosus and still have a fundamental difference between a joint lesion of RHA

1. The most important point is that the pathology of RA is joint synovitis, on the basis of which erosive changes in bone can occur, and X-ray shows that the periarticular bone cortex seems to have been bitten by insects; However, systemic lupus erythematosus does not have erosive bone damage, and the joint deformation that occurs is caused by the tendon and muscle lesions around the joint, not the actual joint destruction.

2. Most of the white blood cells in rheumatoid arthritis are normal or increased, while systemic lupus erythematosus is mostly reduced.

3. The kidney damage of rheumatoid arthritis is mild, while the protein detected in the urine of systemic lupus erythematosus is quite common, and the kidney damage is severe.

Rheumatoid arthritis can sometimes overlap with systemic lupus erythematosus, making the condition more complicated, and x-rays, CT, MRI, and certain immunologic tests are more important

Both are immunodeficiency disorders.

Rheumatoid is caused by the bacterium pyococcus streptococcus. It is caused by an error in the recognition of antigenic determinants by immune cells.

Erythema is also a problem of the immune system and is more common in women. It is a systemic disease, which can be diseased in muscles, bones, heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, brain, eyes, nose, ears, teeth, and hair. There are also many symptoms that manifest themselves, such as:

Fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, general malaise, joint swelling and pain, muscle aches, weight loss, hair loss, facial erythema, finger rash, white or purple after cold hands and feet, recurrent mouth ulcers, superficial lymphadenopathy, menstrual bleeding, **purpura, anemia, white blood cells, decreased platelet count, headache, hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, stupor, intractable diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice, palpitations, shortness of breath, inability to lie flat, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, etc.
