What percentage of people with lupus experience joint pain
and swelling?
Up to 90 percent of people with lupus will have
arthritis which is defined as inflammation or swelling of the joint lining. The
most common symptoms of arthritis are stiffness and aching, most often in the
hands and wrists. Symptoms of arthritis can come and go and move from one
joint to another. Pain and stiffness tend to be worse in the morning and
improve as the day goes on. People with lupus can also experience pain in the
joints without swelling or tenderness, which is referred to as arthralgia.
Do you experience joint pain and stiffness with lupus? How do you help to ease it?
