Yes try to excercise if possible 30min a day or 3 days out of the week. This will help strengthen your muscles. Im not able to do any excercises that are on the floor. There are a lot of chair exercises. I lost 20lbs by exercising and having a 1500 calorie diet. Lupus affects your joints so the less stress on your knees the better, it will ease some of your pain.
