Pressure: Changes occur in the barometric pressure when weather fronts come in. This change in pressure can cause symptoms in areas of inflammation and/or arthritis. Someone with a previous fracture can persistent inflammation in the ongoing remodeling process that occurs, they can also develop posttraumatic arthritis as well. Both of those conditions can potentially cause pain with weather changes.
