I have lupus and it's affected most of my organs. This past summer I was hospitalized for tests, one being a lymph node biopsy to rule out lymphoma. After the procedure I was started on iv prednisone and imuran to try and induce remission due to kidney involvement. I was on the treatment approximately five days and developed severe leg pain in my left leg. All types of x-rays, dopplers, etc. Were performed to determine the cause of the pain. The dx was rhabdomyolysis. I don't agree with this, however, this was the dx. I developed lymphedemia in my left leg and consequently two leg ulcers. I have had this condition since late august of 2004. These wounds seep and require bandage changes during the day. I have had cellulitis as a result and been hospitalized two times. I have had several creams and ointments to apply and given oral diuretics. If anyone has any information regarding this I would appreciate any input.
