Dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint, also called the SI joint, can sometimes cause lower back and/or leg pain. Leg pain from sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be particularly difficult to differentiate from radiating leg pain caused by a lumbar disc herniation (sciatica) as they can feel quite similar.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), also known simply as lupus, is an autoimmune disease in which the bodyâs immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue in many parts of the body. Symptoms vary between people and may be mild to severe.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder associated with a wide range of symptoms and physical findings. The risk of developing SLE is, at least in part, genetic, but it is a complex genetic illness with no clear mendelian pattern of inheritance. The disease tends to occur in families. Siblings of SLE patients have a risk of disease of about 2%.
