You are in Living Better . But there's no solid medical data proving a link between weather and a worsening of arthritis. The myth that a lot of people have misconceptions about is that cold causes arthritis.

Most people complaining of joint pain probably have some kind of arthritis.
There are many kinds of the disease but all are conditions affecting the joints, usually marked by varying degrees of pain, swelling, and stiffness. Arthritis is usually treated with medication. Exercise and some salves or creams may also alleviate symptoms. People whose joints ache who have never seen a doctor should do so for a proper diagnosis. Arthritis doesn't worsen in the winter, but research backs up at least a slight connection between discomfort and seasonal changes.
