Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Sjögren's syndrome often affects people who have other autoimmune diseases that affect the joints, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. It can cause numbness in hands and joint pains.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
