What Could Be The Reason For Having Knee Pain Along With Muscular Pain?

I am a 38 yo woman with Lupus. I have been having muscular pains in both legs, mostly on the left side. Now my left knee is starting to hurt. I don t remember injuring my knee, but it hurts along with the muscular pain. Any thoughts of what could be the problem?

Hi,

Given the history of lupus, your knee pain can be attributed to damage done by lupus to your knee joint. Kindly do hot pack twice a day and do low level impact exercises for your knees. Quardiceps isometrics exercises and heel slides, rotation of ankle.

Pulling and pushing of ankles will strengthen the muscles of leg and will help you out in decreasing pain, you can also contact physiotherapy clinic where machines like (tens, ift) can releive you of your pain. Stretching exercises of quadriceps, hamstrings and calf will also help you out. Do swimming, cycling and steam bath twice a week will surely help.

Hope you find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
