Arthritis: there is high humidity through most of the year in florida and it does not help arthritis. moved here 2 years ago. maybe relocate back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't buy it: If FL humidity was so bad for arthritis, it wouldn't be so populated with seniors. I don't think humidity makes arthritis worse. Some think low barometric pressure affects pain but you can't escape that geographically very effectively. The mainstay of arthritis treatment remains keeping active, weight control, anti inflammatories and, when necessary, joint replacement in severe cases.
