Hi,
It seems like you have a combination of diseases like Fibromyalgia, OA, and discoid lupus. These are all the factors that are causing your symptoms of weak muscles and bone pain.
I hope you are on the right medications for these and are following it up regularly.
If there is a need for the surgery where a plate needs to be put it, please discuss about the risk-benefit ration from this with your operating surgeon.
The surgery may not be very successful as you already have many pre-existing systemic joint conditions.
I hope this helps.
