Hi everyone.
My gp is pulling things out of his hat I think. I went yesterday for lower back pain, hip pain on left side, worse at night and sometimes into the leg.
I feel like Lupus automatically is blamed for any ailment I have. I figure I just strained the lower back or something to that nature.
He only made lay down and he lifted each leg straight in the air and said it is not your nerve.
That was it. Says sometimes with Lupus you can get what is called sacroiliitis. Go get xray and do physcial therapy.
Now I have never heard of this being related to Lupus and have researched it. Doesn't really fit what I have but I will do the xray. I am not confident the xray will show anything because it only shows bones. Another unecessary burst of radiation I think.
I would think if necessary an MRI would show more of what is going on.
Has anyone ever had this?
Thanks !
