Title: i know the weathers changing...i feel it in my leg!
Post by: paul.fr on 27/03/2007 21:33:51
i'm sure we all know someone with arthritis, or may indeed suffer ourself. It is often said by people with arthritis that they can tell the weather is changing because they can feel it.

is this true?

It is not only with arthritis - there are all sorts of weathers that will effect health in all sorts of ways, and I have even heard stories of hospitals using weather forcasts to predict bed requirements.

I get a dull pain in my right elbow and forearm whenever the weather is going to change, it gets quite annoying. I'm only 22 so I doubt/hope it isn't arthritis. Anyone have suggestions on what it could be?

My knees and ankles ALWAYS ache when it's going to rain or get cold. [:(!]
