Lupus Symptom: Joint Pain

Pain in Joints

Joint and muscle pain is often the first sign of lupus. This pain tends to occur on both sides of the body at the same time, particularly in the joints of the wrists, hands, fingers, and knees.  The joints may look inflamed and feel warm to the touch.  But unlike rheumatoid arthritis, lupus usually does not cause permanent joint damage.
