Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. What is systemic lupus erythematosus?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) spinal cord disease is caused by a large number of autoantibodies and pathogenic autoimmune complexes that damage the blood vessels supplying the spinal cord or directly harm the spinal cord, leading to spinal cord inflammation. It primarily manifests as symptoms such as quadriplegia and incontinence of urine and feces. Systemic lupus erythematosus has a hereditary factor across generations, and it is currently impossible to completely relieve it. Lupus spinal cord disease is also mostly unable to heal on its own, and after treatment, sequelae often occur.
