What Causes Swelling In The Feet And Hands?

Hi my friend developed swollen feet and hands this past week. She has never had a problem with swelling. Now she has developed a rash on arms legs and torso. Bones ache like the flu. She went to dr and is going to get blood work. Are these signs of lupus?

Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and it doesn’t seem to be symptoms of lupus. It could be a simple viral infection also. Blood work up will help in reaching to the diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
