- In this video we will provide a basic definition of barometric pressure, discuss how this may increase pain in patients with osteoarthritis, and provide recommendations on how to help manage the pain.

Thank you soooooo much for sharing this video. Now I know I’m not crazy when I say that when the weather changes my arthritis pain is horrible. Cold days, foggy days and especially rainy days are the worst.
Yeap me too. My mother aswell. We live in NYC. It's rough
This also affects anyone who has metal in their body. I call it walking barometer syndrome. I'm fused C3-T4, I can feel the weather in my head, neck, shoulders and upper arms.
An informative and clear explanation thank you. I have been debating this very topic for years with colleagues in the fitness industry and gp's (some didn't understand), as I have arthritis in my left hip and a inflammatory condition.
I have managed to avoid surgery by doing the things you have suggested, so far so good. 😊🙏🏿
Thank you! Finally, a simplistic view on barometric pressure.
This happens with those who suffer from osteoarthritis, as well as "other kinds" of arthritis as well. Excessive wear on certain joints adds to the cup of pain
What really causes me the worst pain is the RATE of change.
I suffer from ON and TN, when the pressure drops am in misery. Spring and fall with it moves like a roller coaster are the worse. But I always hear “ice” but when my nerve pain is flared, ice is excruciating. Heat seems to calm my nerves and lessen the stabbing pain.
Very well explained. Concise, conversational, and straight to the point. Thank you for sharing your insights with us
Thank you.
Sharing excellent explanation-
Easily explained-
awesome explanation. thank you
This was am awesome presentation. Very clear and precise
Thanks Claude! It took a while to refine the language to improve clarity, so I am glad it paid off. Thanks for the comment!
Why do I hurt like heck before a rain storm and am much better once the rain starts.
Thanks for the question Yatespeare. The barometric pressure is actually changing (actively dropping) before the storm comes, that is one of the reasons the storm forms in the first place. Once the storm "starts," the barometric pressure doesn't change much or it starts to go back up towards the end of the storm.
each and every dr. and specialist in California never heard of this..
It's implied at the beginning of this video that sunny and cold conditions don't co-exist. That's contrary to climate in Phoenix or Las Vegas. Both are sunny, desert conditions and it gets quite cold in Dec-Feb (not uncommon to get below 32ºF). I'm confused!
I also get headaches with storms.. I can tell the difference
I'm curious to know if, besides joint pain and headaches (I tend to get a migraine when the atmospheric pressure drops dramatically), the health consequences apply to other areas of the body (blood/heart-related, lymph system, etc)?
I get migraines with changes in the barometric pressure also. So far I haven't figured out how to stop it. Advil helps a little. It is frustrating.
As a long term suffer since 12 now 56 ,,, I concur humidity is a killer somedays...
I've been having feet pain and cramping, especially when the weather changes. I haven't found a solution yet, could this be because of the change in barometric pressure? It feels like my muscles are pulling and releasing.
Lokations with stable pressure ?
Same as the full moon has clearly an effect on mental health as we kept journal with a HD patient
I dont have pain but i get terrible breathing problems and my abdominal area is so tense that i have zero apetite.
Omg it’s bad right now as dark Vold of clouds gather in past hour!!
It hurts all over. Hadn’t been this bad in years. D is great but I’ll use essential oils now!!
That occurs to me but in my head I have migraines that is by barometric pressure
The problem for me is when it is FALLING, not stable or going up. I get extreme fatigue and arthritis gets worse
What about fatigue and head pressure and headaches? Feeling groggy, heavy, and off?
Agreed!
Also cut down on your Carbs and sugar in your diet. Carbs inflame the joints.
It’s not in my joints at all it’s in my top lungs and sinuses here in florida
I’ve noticed I have similar symptoms, how do you deal with it?
I can predict the weather! My back hurts so bad when the pressure changes (multiple back surgeries later). My Dr thinks I’m NUTS!
Can you give any info on why and how vitamin D helps? I'm curious
Hi Alex! Great question. Vitamin D regulates the body's calcium, which is essential for hardening our bones and contracting our muscles. Additionally, many researchers think that vitamin D also has some anti-inflammatory effects, which can help with joint pain caused by inflammation. While the reason behind why that's the case is unclear, studies have shown that people suffering from arthritis are more likely to be low on vitamin D. Studies have also shown that those with vitamin D deficiencies are more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis in the future. Thanks for watching!
@@timhartshornm.d.8706 thanks for the detailed response 👍
If u had a knee arthroscopy and they break the capsule, does ur fluid leak out to other parts of the body?
It absolutely does Holly. Usually it goes into the back part of the leg and gravity will pull it into the calf. If a patient has significant calf pain after a knee scope, it can either be a DVT or it could be because the fluid leaked out into the leg through the back part of the knee joint. Hope this helps!
Sir,is this the reason why i can't sleep well and get headaque during rainfall at night?Please reply🙏
Hi Hemajl, the short answer is I do not know for sure. I would defer to a headache specialist or neurologist to answer your question better, but this mechanism may be playing a role if associated with rainfall. The cerebral vessels are also vulnerable to dilation and constriction like the vessels around a joint. Definitely worth looking into more...
I've Known PPL Who Can Feel Pressure Up To 2 Days Before The Weather Events
Rainy weather mayme feel like I'm being squeezed to death, or like being rolled up in a roll of carpet tightly
It is worst when you have cervical instability. It can be so bad that your body shakes or pass out.
I live in Florida. I'm only 45 years old but I've done some weightlifting and powerlifting. Pressure in Florida is absolute murder on my joints I'm considering moving to Maine. I actually do much better in colder climates. Anyone with joint pain or inflammation I would not advise you to move to Florida never ever ever
I hear ya!!
Never ever recommend Central/South Texas either!! I am craving stable, predictable weather. I've tried everything under the sun without breaking bank to control my inflammation naturally and holistically, but nothing beats dry, cooler temperatures that stays relatively the same or steady--not bipolar like it is here. Uggghh. 3 days of low pressure/high humidity/foggy/damp air; then 3 days of chilly/sunny/super dry/high pressure days. I have to switch from A/C to heater every 3 days to keep the air from stagnation. Allergens and mold spores thrive and are rampant here also.
Move to stable weather
i hate it warm
really drugs
