General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of slightly raised lumps on the joints of heels, calves and tendons and is a known case of lupus. Lumps are just under the skin, itchy and cause strange sensations. There is Xanthoma tendinosum.
I would advise you the following:
Consult a Rheumatologist for the correct correlation between all the symptoms and signs get further investigations, get excision biopsy if required and get treated accordingly.
Xanthoma Tendinosum needs an opinion of an Orthopedic surgeon and removal will help you the movements well.

I find this answer helpful
