why does cold weather make us hurt?
If your joints are groaning loudly these days, go ahead and blame the cold weather. In some people, the changes that bring frigid temperatures may worsen inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and joint pain, affecting the hips, knees, elbows, shoulders and hands.he joints end up being colder, which in turn leads to more joint discomfort.. Moreover, the sensory receptors around the joints are most reactive when there's low barometric pressure, or the atmosphere has gone from dry to moist, as if it's about to rain, Mandal said.
