How Temperature and Humidity Can Contribute to Arthritis Pain

Do you have arthritis?

Do you notice more pain during certain seasons?

You might be picking up on changes in the weather. Nerves in your joints can sense humidity, precipitation, and temperature and can react with pain or stiffness. This doesn’t happen to everyone, however. If you feel more pain in cold weather, your body may be reacting to the low temperatures, low humidity, and low barometric pressure. Low temperatures can also make the fluid inside joints thicker, so they feel stiffer. If you experience more pain in warmer weather, your joints are picking up on the high barometric pressure, high temperature, and high humidity. The fluids in your joints may also become thinner and result in increased inflammation, pain, and discomfort.

Learn about barometric pressure.
