@A MyLupusTeam Member I also had knumbness in spots sides above knees,hands fingers and toes .whats remarkable since I have been doing physio exercises for balancing and core and stretches I have no more knumbness except in hands,I am returning to physio for upper body next year after Christmas. Its a life long commitement but worth it. Pain is still there and stiffness but the feeling has come back.

@A MyLupusTeam Member sorry I only get knumb in spots not whole leg. Hope you figure out I think mine is inflamation and blood supply is cut off somewhere

I get numbness on the right side of my left upper leg sometimes only when laying down My little finger on left hand is numb and left side of my foot ..... The foot and finger started right when I first got sick .... I have always blamed it on lupus !!!!! . I think all of it comes from inflammation and nerve endings attached to the lupus problem , thats just a guess but beginning to wonder if that's all some of these doctors gives us too . Won't hurt to ask at your next appointment ....
