Orthopedic Troubles with SLE: Seeking Advice

I don't have sle. But I have had tons of trouble with orthopedic issues. I have had 29 surgeries through the clinic I go to since 2008. I have had six knee surgeries, six ankle surgeries, two foot surgeries, both shoulders, four hand surgeries, three wrist surgeries, a thumb arthroplasty, carpal tunnel release, and elbow surgery.

Could be. I have sle but I try to listen to my body and no overdue it. I also take Vitamin D3 for calcium. Hope you feel better soon

It might be MCTD as well as SLE? I have both and have been told my ortho issues are mctd related. I never broke a single bone before both diseases - but in one year broke three metatarsal bones in the same foot (different injuries), and a broken wrist, and not doing any major activity. I was told these were all due to MCTD. With SLE, that’s where I have trouble with workouts and inflammation. I used to do HIIT workouts and can’t even dream of them anymore. Anything beyond low impact and I blow up with inflammation like violet Beauregard.
