Chronic Pain Flare Up: Need Advice

I am hurting so bad. my right knee (bone on bone) hit me with crazy pain yesterday and all I did was stand up. and I had already been up for awhile. it swelled up, hot red and I had a knot in my calf. I had to use a cane, and I haven't had to in 3 months. it's still swollen and hurts, know my left knee in hurting and all my joints, muscles and skin. it hurts to type this. I have fibromyalgia along with lupus ELS. this hurts worse than my last lupus flare up. and I'm having muscle spasms. please help me figure out what to do.

Elevate your legs above your heart like all day and night if you can ice your knee and lower your sodium intake if you haven’t already. I have SLE to and when I’m in the sun a lot or have major stress in my life I can flare up like crazy also I’m trying something new instead of taking tumeric capsules I am now mixing the actual seasoning along with ginger or peppercorns in water and drinking a class full once daily and I read that it can be added to good to help with the awful taste lol hope things get better for you 😌
