Why does the weather rain & cold make me hurt so bad?

Cold weather: Not sure where your pain is, is it your joints? If so, see your doctor.

Weather pain???: Increased pain has been associated with slowly falling barometric pressure. You will notice that in a storm system coming in fast you are fine. Its that front that takes days to come in that gets you. There is also fair weather pain from a high pressure area moving away from you. The mechanism is completely unknown.

Dr Eitner and another doctor agreed
