Lupus and injuries

so i’ve had lupus for 7 months now and i recently fell and hurt my shoulder. i’m wondering if anyone else has dealt with injuries on top of lupus symptoms. like, how do you even know if it’s a flare or just pain from the injury?

i’ve been taking plaquenil for 3 months and it’s been helping with my joint pain, but now i’m not sure what’s lupus and what’s just my shoulder. has anyone else had to deal with this? i’ve heard some people talk about using peptides like bpc-157 for recovery, but i don’t know if that’s something i should look into.

anyone have any experience with that? i’m just trying to figure out how to manage my symptoms and get my shoulder to heal at the same time.

complex confound, track everything
