What is the relationship between weather and joint pain?

As the weather gets colder, many people start to experience more joint pain. There are a few different theories about why this happens, but the most likely explanation is that cold weather causes the body to produce more of a substance called cytokines, which can increase inflammation.
There are a few things you can do to help relieve joint pain during cold weather:
- Dress in warm, loose-fitting clothing.
- Take warm baths or showers.
- Use a heating pad on painful joints.
- Exercise regularly.
- Eat a healthy diet.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
If you have chronic joint pain, you may want to talk to your doctor about medications that can help relieve your symptoms.

basis to this and that with weather
change the barometric pressure changes
and as that pressure change precedes the
actual weather change the joint space is
sensitive to the pressure change and may
create an aching pain in advance of the
weather change but in response to the
barometric pressure change so the
relationship of whether to arthritic
pain I'm not a weatherman ER
meteorologist but generally as I
understand before a cold front or
weather change moves into an area the
pressure in the area changes in other
words the atmospheric pressure changes
and usually that comes in before the
weather change comes in so if you have
an arthritic joint it's going to tend to
sense that pressure change before the
weather gets here that's why people say
I can tell I can tell it's going to rain
because my knee hurts and so there's
probably a relationship between incoming
weather changes and joint pain so you
may have a second career as a
meteorologist or weathermen if you if
you're pretty accurate with your
arthritic joint
