A member asked:
What are the causes of joint pain during cold weather?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pressure: One leading theory points to changes in air pressure. Although many people say that their pain worsens with damp, rainy weather, research has shown that it's not the cold, wind, rain, or snow. The thing that affects people most is barometric pressure.
