What Causes Constant Pain In The Back And Red Bumps On The Chest?

I have been having a stabbing back pain for the last 3 days that has gotten progressively worse. It have lupus and take prednisone, folic acid, and endomethecine daily. I recognize when i m having a flare with inflammation in my lungs and initially thought that was the problem, but that usually is bilateral sqeezing feeling and not just one sided. I usually just increase the steroid dose a few days and the symptoms go away. However, this stabbing pain got worse and there were none of the other symptoms that accompany the lupus flare. It hurts more when I m sitting up standing. It feels better when i lay down on my left side. (opposite the pain) I also now have little red bumps in the center of my chest and now have 2 bumps on my back now. the pain has gone from ever once in a while to being constant.

it appears them diagnosis is not correct taking steroid and increasing the dose will not help you. it will not cure but musc the symptoms. you need investigation for back pain how have you diagnosed lupus. it can be myalgia it can be fibrositis or cos to chondritis. can take tab combiflam and apply voveran ointment externally.in lupus other symptoms like rashes in face is common fibromyalgia muscular dystrophy can occur.it is autoimmune disorder having variety of symptom like hair loss unexplained fever and fatigue. so any problem you can not linked to lupus.
