4. Joint and Muscle Pain
Pain in muscles and joints is also a common symptom of Sjogren’s syndrome. However, having these symptoms does not necessarily mean you have Sjogren’s syndrome. There are many reasons why a person feel pain in the joints and muscles. It can be due to arthritis or some other illnesses.
It is for these reasons why some doctors will not diagnose a patient of Sjogren’s syndrome just because of the joint and muscle pain. Therefore, it may take years for some patients to receive proper diagnosis and treatment for Sjogren’s syndrome. So if you are having joint and muscle pain, along with the other symptoms of Sjogren’s syndrome, it is best to inform your doctor and discuss about it.
