Swollen, Deep Red, Shiny And Dry Ankle Due To Standing. Diagnosed With Fibromyalgia. Could This Be Possible Lupus?
i really cant afford to pay for diagnosis, but my ankle is hugely swollen and deep,deep red and shiny and dry. This all from just standing on it for a few hours. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, plus many other things. My Mother however who just died in Oct. at the age of 73 died from complications of Lupus. I m just wondering if I could possibly have Lupus also?

Hello there!
Thank you for asking, already fibromyalgic with family history of lupus and ankle swelling on standing all need bait work up. Just swelling on standing is innocuous and it happens to normal people too. so no worries but you need to seek help regarding pains and rheumatologist's help for better management
Cheers
