Barometer sign : There was a study done some years ago. People with arthritis were put in a chamber. Dr joe hollander of philadelphia regulated the temperature, humidity, and the barometric pressure in the chamber. When the barometric pressure dropped and humidity increase people had increase in their musculoskeletal symptoms. I call this the barometer sign. It may be related to microedema the joints, bursas etc.
