Try ZAZZEE. Tart cherry capsules. Buy a bottle for $20 on Amazon. I’ve had arthritis for 30 years or I should say arthritis pain. YESYESYES the weather changes bring the worst, inflammatory pain to me. It turns out that after all the specialist repeated that I had OA the OA, although my body is filled to capacity with it is not causing the inflammatory pain. That was being caused by high uric acid levels in my blood, which is responsible for gout. Gout arthritis gives me pain. It stops me in my tracks along with the weather change. Now there’s no doubt when it’s gonna rain and when the weather is gonna change, although the old adage about feeling in my knees and shins stopped when I had my hips replaced. Now my body just slows down to an absolute crawl or stops entirely. I take low-dose opioid so I can maximize the exercise so I can stop or slow down the deterioration. But when that weather changes, I’m a goner! I will add in some Celebrex or some Tylenol but mostly I stop being hard on myself at 68 and I just grab a book and wait. Once all the cloud cover comes and it rains I’m much better. Wind is my worst enemy as well windy days just course through my body causing havoc. A doctor told me long ago. It is due to barometric pressure change. That’s what bothers people the most with osteoarthritis. I found that to be true over half a lifetime dealing with arthritis and having ancestors that dealt with it too. Try acupuncture massage sauna all the lovely things that help ease the pain. Don’t forget to exercise before the barometric pressure changed so you can relax into it when you’re suffering. Good luck.

Thank you for your comment. I'm so relieved to find others that feel increased pain with barometric pressure changes, rain, snow, wind, clouds. I haven't been diagnosed with OA, but have had these difficulties for years. I have a niece who is also severely affected by this. My mom has a little of this too. A genetic patterns I guess.
