Goodevening jeniffer...sorry to hear about your condition. Since you are a lupus patient i m supposing you are on steroids since a while now. I will suggest to get mri of the knees done to rule out avascular necrosis. The pain can be explined from there..hope you dont have much of hip pain. Do let me know..the pain killers dont work much in this condition
