Some people swear that they can predict when rain is in the forecast because their joints start to ache. Other people notice similar discomfort during other weather events or when the seasons change. Experts believe that joints may ache among affected people because of changes in barometric pressure, which occur during weather system changes. Before it rains, barometric pressure tends to decrease.
When this happens, there’s less air pressure exerting itself on your body, which may allow muscles, tendons and other tissue surrounding the joints to expand. The expansion may crowd the joints, putting extra pressure on them, which may lead to pain.
-Exercise regularly. Being physically active helps to strengthen your muscles and
bones, which helps to take pressure off of your joints.
-Keep moving. Find ways to get your usual activity in, even if you can’t walk around
the block. Consider walking at the mall or using a treadmill.
-Stretch before moving. Do a few stretches before you do any physical activity. You’ll
warm up your muscles and improve your flexibility, which is good for your joints.
