Do you have any back problems at all? Any back pain or any sharp pains that radiate anywhere, like into your leg(s) or arm(s)? Or pins & needles or numbness anywhere?

I am just wondering if it still could be spine related. I was told by my rheumy my spine problems are separte from lupus, that lupus doesnt affect the spine. But I am not even sure that I actually have lupus, but I do have something that causes flares of joint pains, fatigue, rashes, hives, etc...But lupus had been suspected by a dermatologist and my rheumy.

What sort of doctors have you mentioned this to? (I assume one was a rheumy if you have lupus)
