Weather can affect: Weather can affect joint pain with increasing barometric pressure. A study in germany confirmed the old wives tale that joint pain is affected by changes in barometric pressure. I hope that this helps.

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).
