I will need some more information viz.

age, duration of diabetes, diet (veg or non veg), medications for HTN and depression, smoking history, whether the pain is in whole body or mainly in legs or spine, duration of lupus.

At this juncture, I would recommend you to do vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels, along with your HbA1C, hemogram and creatinine.

Have to taken pain killers and how have they worked?

At present, I can suggest you can take Tab Tryptomer 10 mg at bedtime. However, this needs to taken under medical supervision please check with your family doctor if you can take it.

You have not mentioned the levels of vitamin B 12 and D3. If these are normal, you can take tab pregator 75 mg twice a day for a month and see the results. Continue further if it helps. Taper and omit pain killers if this medication helps. Pregator may cause drowsiness and giddiness for first few days. Of course, smoking needs to be totally given up.

The dose is absolutely fine. The duration of treatment is very variable. However, it is going to be long term
