Lupus Support Group
Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.
I am my dr. 1st lupus and this is my 1st lupus. I have had a lot of pain in my right elbow since the last week of Jan. He said it is tendonitis and not due to lupus. This is my 1st tendonitis also. He gave me cortisone shots on Mon 11 Feb and it felt much better. Now I can move my fingers without pain but my elbow is still very sore, like it is bruised. Does anyone have any insight?

I know how annoying it is, I too have alot of things re-occuring that are not connected to lupus. Joint pain in all knee hip elbows etc. very frustrating I know but as it is isolated just continue with the recommendations on the site and see how you go.
Sorry I have no great insight for you.
take care Dee
