Why do injuries hurt more in cold weather?

Why do old injuries hurt in bad weather?

  • Answer:

    because typically an old injury has either scar tissue or arthritis around it. It is an old wives tale that joints hurt because it is going to rain. It is not the rain, but is is the low pressure system associated with storms that impacts the veins and capillaries, causing them to constrict and reduce blood flow, which in turn causes pain.

If the injury involves a joint (back, knee, ankle, shoulder, finger), it can become sensitive due to excess fluid. It may be that there is residual inflammation in that joint. It may be that the sacs containing the different fluids in the joint are slightly damaged... any number of things. "Bad weather" is accompanied by changes (usually drops) in barometric pressure. The pressure from the weather system can be detected in the hyper-sensitized site of the old injury. THe article below is interesting. High barometric pressure is associated with a decrease in pain for many people with arthritis. Maybe the increased pressure supports their joints better, kind of like an ace bandage.
