If you have arthritis, you may notice that your pain can change along with the weather. During times of rain and snow, the temperature drops and barometric pressure decreases. This can cause fluid in the joints to thicken, which makes them stiffer. If you have stiff joints, you may be more sensitive to pain during movement, making arthritis pain seem worse.

People may experience:
▶Pain areas: in the joints, ankle, back, fingers, hands, muscles, neck, or wrist
▶Pain types: can be intermittent or sharp
▶Pain circumstances: can occur while sitting
▶Joints: stiffness, tenderness, or swelling
▶Muscular: decreased range of motion, difficulty walking, or muscle weakness
▶Hand: bump on the finger or bony outgrowth in fingers or toes
▶Whole body: fatigue or malaise
▶Also common: flare, physical deformity, redness, or stiff neck

If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms above call your primary care provider to schedule an appointment. Knox City Clinic Ph 940-657-3906 or Munday clinic Ph 940-422-5271
