Under Pressure.: Seasonal joint pain is a phenomena that has an affect on quite a number of people. Although there could be a host of underlying conditions that could be playing a part in the pain, it could simply be a change in barometric pressure. The changing air pressure around us is thought to have an effect on the pressure inside some joints which could result in varying degrees of discomfort.

Varies: Some people with inflammatory and/ or arthritic problems will develop symptoms with weather changes. A rheumatologist could potentially be of assistance to screen you for a number of potential causes with some basic blood work.
