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.
There are many kinds of lupus. The most common type is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which affects many internal organs in the body. SLE most often harms the heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, and nervous system.oting that many people with lupus had a disease that not only affected the skin but many other organs in the body as well, Osler added the word systemic to the term lupus erythematosus to distinguish this type of disease from discoid lupus erythematosus.
