Hi
I will suggest to undergo an arthritis profile test under a rheumatologist, like CRP,ASO,Rheumatoid factor,ESR,CBC,ANA,and Anti-ccp to rule out or diagnose joint pains and swellings.Co-existence with fibromyalgia is possible , althogh lupus is rare and has presentation of redness of both cheeks and severe rash,so unlikely in your case, but rheumatoid or other forms of arthritis can be co-comitant
Anyway, many medicines are there to treat, so no worry, consult a rheumatologist
thanks
