Hi,
5 Tips for Fighting Cold Weather Pain
If a drop in temperature makes your pain levels soar, you're not alone: many people with chronic pain conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia find that their symptoms worsen during the winter.
We don't know exactly why cold weather exacerbates pain but one leading theory blames changes in barometric pressure.
As the cold sets in, reduced air pressure causes the tissues within the joints to expand, causing an already inflamed joint to become even more swollen and painful.
