A member asked:
Why might it be that my knee hurts in the cold weather?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reason not clear: Arthritic joints are often very sensitive to weather changes. Most times pain is in response to falls in barometric pressure but sometimes it is to humidity or cold. The exact reason for pain in response to cold is unknown.
