What Causes Electric Shock Sensation In Hip Joints While Having Systemic Lupus?

Hello, I m female, 43yoa, 5 4 , 150 lbs, muscular build. Exercise 3-6 X per week (cardio/weights-resistance training.) I have Systemic Lupus. Lately, I have experienced electrical-shock type feelings in both hip joints. It feels just like being shocked by something small, like an home electrical outlet. It almost tickles, but really hurts the joints & surrounding muscles and wakes me from sleep. It feels like the shock pain after you hit your funny bone. I do notice it is worse when it is about to rain. There is no pain/shock feeling down my legs. It is very different from the other arthritic/arthralgic achy-type joint pain I have experienced. I haven t had any injuries to this area. I do have a copper IUD. I ve never had this before, but I ve had it intermittently for a month now. What do you think?

It could be due to neuropathy plus in case you are taking steroids for lupus there is a possibility that AVN of hip may be giving rise to pain . You need to send the complete reports for the same.
