 How Weather May Affect Arthritis?

Although scientists have toiled hard to arrive at a substantial connection between the joint pain and the weather, to date there has been no exact reason to state. This could be because of the inadequacy of the information received that cannot be relied upon to estimate the link. But with substantial experience in joint pain treatment, Dr Avtar Singh, the expert doctor of robotic knee replacement surgery believes there is a connection to a certain extent. This is because he has witnessed people suffering from arthritis facing joint pains as they might be sensitive to the modifications in barometric pressure.

Now the question is How? It could be due to wearing out of the cartilage that pads the bones present inside the joint. It is then that the nerves are left unsheltered that further reacts to the changes in the pressure. Moving further, the other reason could be the expansion and contraction of tendons, muscles and any scarred tissue due to the alterations in the barometric pressure. 

This further gain leads to pain in the joints that are affected by arthritis. Moreover, low temperature is another factor that thickens the fluid in the joints that makes the joints even stiffer. According to the orthopaedics doctor, people also encounter more pain when the weather does not let them move around as much as they do in a regular routine. However, people prefer staying indoors and loaf around when it is too cold or raining outside, which further stiffens their inactive joints which further leads to pain.
