Is It Normal To Have Severe Pain In Legs Due To Lupus?

I have just left the hospital with paintbrush strokes on my brain that were identified as Lupus after a MRI. I finally had a bowel movement this morning, after returning home last night, and I am having severe pain in my legs when trying to clear my bowels. This pain radiates all the way down to my ankles from my lower abdomen. I am not sure whether this is an issue I should call my doctor about.

If you are diagnosed with lupus then this can be the sign of neurological symptoms but I doubt how your diagnosis was made just on the basis of MRI .Please send the autoimmune profile also so that we can see the validity of your diagnosis.
