A member asked:
It is not a myth. falling barometric pressure (usually indicating rain) will increase joint pain! is it why my joints hurts ? i have ra !

You are correct: You are correct. It is not a myth. Joseph hollander, md proved that in the early 1960s using a climate chamber. No one is sure of the exact mechanism but it may have to do with delayed ability to equalize pressure inside the joint to the outside barometric pressure as the outside pressure falls.
