Hi there, chronic pain is common with many people suffering from SLE. you need to see your neurologist who would prescribe stronger analgesics. Avoid potent ones like indomethacin and diclofenac  since there is increased risk of kidney and heart failure. Opioids like co-codamol and hydrocodne may be required if severe pain is there and intracranial lesions are ruled out. eye and ear on the right need to be evaluated since this could be a referred pain. a brain MRI needs to be done to rule out any intracranial lesions or aneurysm. Take care and all the best.

This is something you can wait to see if others here have an answer for, personally, I think you need to see your doctor and let them know what is going on.
