    I have arthritis and also suffer from migraines. When there is a change in the weather I know before it actually gets here because of the increase in pain. Thank you for this video.

    Weather change is definitely felt in my knees, living on the west coast (rainy) is the worst with osteoarthritis, also I found elevation ( atmospheric pressure ) affects mine as well. I took note of this when I visited different places. Wondering why my knees were worse at home than other places. Thanks Docs haha love your silly senses of humor.

    I don't have arthritis (yet), but I've always been a weather vane. I get sinus headaches, mostly in winter, when there's a big pressure change. Not sure why it is less of a problem in summer, but the winter storms aren't my friends. Sometimes my eyeteeth ache, too - I guess the roots are a little too close to my sinus cavity. I'd give a lot for a little valve on my skull where I could equalize the pressure!

    I've heard this all my life! Older people would always complain about weather changes and how it worsened their aching joints. As I've gotten older, I experience the same thing.
    When I was much younger, I experienced migraines. One day a coworker noticed my migraines were worse when the barometric pressure was higher. Luckily the migraines stopped after 10 years but my joints continue to give me problems.
    And since I'm older now, I definitely feel a difference when the weather changes.
    And my joint problems began in the 80's, having my first jaw surgery in 1982. I now have the second prosthesis in my jaw.
    After having an arthroscope over 20 years ago, both knees are constantly aching and popping besides being great weather predictors.
    It was about 80° here in Texas yesterday and today we woke up to the 40's. It will still be cold tomorrow but by Wednesday it could be back in the 80's.
    Of course this is why I call Texas the bipolar state because of constant extreme changes in the weather. And if you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait 5 minutes and it will change. But I've seen a 60° drop in temperature within 30 minutes. That's why I always carry a jacket, umbrella, blanket and suntan lotion in my car. You never know how the weather will change.
    Thanks for dispelling the myth of arthritic people being able to predict weather. Because at some age, everyone will be able to give a weather report. 😉
    Now excuse me while I go lay on my heating pad.

    I always found that the change in weather affected my knees as well, even before I was diagnosed with OA. I had a full knee replacement on my left knee and it has come along quite nicely. However, I still get twinges of pain in the left knee, especially with the temperature change. Dr. Weening, you were my surgeon, and it has been almost a whole year since I had this done. Watching this video has re-assured me that this is normal. Thank-you both for these great videos. They are very helpful.

    I'm an osteo. Cold & rain for sure but...the barometric pressure plays a larger "cause&effect" for me. Not just joints but...sinuses! That said, the barometric also throws off my equilibrium.

    Absolutely TRUE! Changes in barometric pressure feels like an attack physically. Until there is stability in pressure, my body with pain is on a roller coaster of ups and downs, of adjustments ... which in turn keeps the mind on high alert for threat. Changes in barometric pressure hijacks the sense of wellbeing for the body and the mind ... in my experience.

    Facts! I’ve had a discectomy on my lower back when I was 27ish (I had a herniated disk pinching my sciatic nerve)…I’m 41 now and a year ago I suffered from my second back injury. I had a bulging disk. I was also told that I have arthritis in my back. In between and after my two injuries, any time the weather changes drastically 10+ degrees in a short amount of time my back kills me. Not sciatic nerve pain (no pain in the glute or down the leg) just pain around where my scar is. Stiff, tight, sore…it’s hard to move freely. Heating pad helps. I live in AZ too. Going from 112-114 degrees in one weekend back down to low 100’s in a couple days still has that same effect. In a few days it goes away. It’s the change of pressure.

    Yes it's true. I used to accurately predict it would rain in two days by taking notice of the discomfort of old injuries like broken fingers or damaged ankle and knee.
    People thought it was just BS until I was repeatedly correct.
    Also my nose gets so itchy I rub it constantly and start ripping out the snot hairs.
    Keep an eye on some one with slightly wavey hair. The curling will increase at least a day before the rain arrives.
    Keep notice of how your body reacts before the weather changes and you will see a pattern appear.

    Years ago my elderly Springer Spaniel awoke crying one morning as a big winter snow storm was approaching. Her vet could not find any problems with her, and theorized her pain was due to the changing barometric pressure related to the storm (plus he felt she had some dementia, which made her pain seem worse.) So, yep, I'm a believer.

Those big low pressure like the Texas Lows and Colorado Lows in the winter Low pressure systems make me ache.

I find the long cold winters are brutal for me having Inflammatory arthritis and OA in so many areas in my body (feet, lumbar spine, L hip, hands, cervical spine) and now dgx with fibromyalgia as well. Not sure if it was due to working as an RN for 25 years that help bring it on. It's very painful and very hard to move (I used to be an avid hiker). I see a Rheumatologist and some meds help however I know I need to move to a dryer warmer state when my husband retires in 2 years. Don't know how I will get through another Winter. This video will be helpful for me to show my husband to help him understand why I feel so poorly. Thank you again. Patty

    After 40+ years of having worsening pain with OA in my knees, hips and back (which definitely was worse with cold or damp weather!!). Then 3 years ago I went on a very low carb diet-‘to just bring my A1 C down ‘to prevent full-blown diabetes’. That worked like a charm! But what I DIDN’T expect was that it apparently had a very positive affect on my joint inflammation!-, because even though I’m now in my early 80s, I no longer suffer from such disabling pain that I couldn’t even turn over in bed comfortably, much less walk around very easily. The few times I have indulged in carbs I notice even my finger joints will swell. When I knock off the carbs I’m good to go!

    I don't have arthritis (that I know of), but I have joint pain due to hypermobility, and rain, snow, and cold definitely affects me, as well as a scar I have on my leg. I have heat intolerance as well, causing nerve pain, sweating and dizziness, so trying to be just the right temperature is a struggle. I mentioned it to a doctor and she said that's pretty normal considering what I'm dealing with so that wasn't very comforting, but good to know I wasn't overreacting like parents and teachers kept saying.

We lived on the east coast of Canada with lots of snow storms! I have had both knees replaced, and am not as accurate now , but Back in the day , if Mama said there was no school, they went to bed without setting alarms:):) You Guys are awesome! Keep up the good work!

    Changes in weather affected me a long time before I was finally diagnosed with OA. Since the knee replacement this sensitivity has actually gotten worse. Humidity and cold have always affected my asthma and migraines as well. You'd think living in South Australia would help but our weather patterns are changing and we have MUCH more humid weather than even 10 years ago.

    Thanks guys! I do believe weather can change how you feel. I'm stuck on the pressure theory. A bad winter storm may lower the pressure 1/2"hg (standard sea level pressure is 29.92"Hg). A jetliner cabin at cruise can be a full 5" below standard sea level pressure. It seems people would be writhing in pain. I have PsA and even on long flights I seem no worse off. Cheers

    I'm definitely a case in point here. With two prosthetic shoulders, and in need of a couple of other joint replacements (knee, DIP joints both hands, and possibly R hip),I can truly testify to this fact. I don't remember the last time I haven't been in horrible pain. Every single day, I am hurting to move about just to make it through the day. The damp cold days we have here in New Brunswick can be very excruciating on your joints. When it rains in the summer here, I'm cringing. Also, I'm only turning 44 in June. So OA definitely doesn't discriminate. In my family, it's known as the McKinley curse. Most of the men in my family have been affected by OA. I truly don't wish this on anyone. Great video by the way, and thank you for making these videos.

      The docs here answered my wonder about that: (Fronts moving in, whether higher or lower pressure increase pain.) It's the change arriving/on its way that triggers the increased ache and pain, not whether the pressure's going up or down.
      Like you, if not so precisely, I've liked checking an old barometer in my house; and been puzzled when pain could come in either on higher or lower pressure.
