I don't know about arthritis, but I DO know that if you break a bone, you can "feel" it when the weather does an abrupt change. I have broken all my fingers and toes, thanks to competitions and have some arthritis in all those digits, along with mild arthritis in both knees. And yes, I definitely feel it. You should know that the doctors who say it isn't possible are all too young to have arthritis, just sayin'.

Good Afternoon Kids! Our weather did an abrupt change. The sun is still out, but it has cooled down so much, and the humidity is down to nothing, so my joints decided to hurt today. A lot. I'm not used to this, and I'm also not impressed. I'll have to mention this at my next physical, and see what the doctor says. Every doctor I have ever asked claims the weather has nothing to do with joint pain. I disrespectfully disagree and think busymom is right. There is a connection. Mine always act up when periods of heavy rain settle in. We don't get cold enough long enough for me to notice an issue with temperature. But extended rainy periods - absolutely! I am considering adding glucosamine/chondroitin to my regimen to see if it helps.
It has been helpful for me. I started taking it about 3 weeks ago and have a lot less pain, and somewhat less stiffness.
