Can Weather Really Affect Arthritis?

Do you experience increased arthritis pain during certain times of the year?

Do your joints slow down or become stiff too?

Some studies suggest barometric pressure might have something to do with it. Barometric pressure – the pressure of the air around us – differs from day to day in accordance with the weather. Some won’t notice this change, but others are more sensitive to the changes and will feel it in their joints. One explanation is that the cartilage inside a joint becomes worn away over time, and the now exposed nerves in the bones of the joint might pick up on changes in pressure. Changes in barometric pressure may also make your tendons and muscles expand and contract, which can cause pain.
