Does your pain get worse with changing weather?

For those who get diagnosed with inflammation, that’s not RA or OA then you need to check out if you have gout, which is a real simple fix. All my arthritis specialist let me suffer for 30 years before somebody here at this site recommended tart cherry capsules for inflammatory reactions. It’s solve my problem. I like to recommend ZAZEE on Amazon for 20 bucks. It worked for me in 24 hours. My hands haven’t been stiff since I started taking it last fall. After 30 years, I was pretty upset that my doctors neglected to give me a simple uric acid test. Especially if you have gout running in your family it’s inherited. I want to warn you against NSA IDs! Regular chronic use to address pain is going to injure your body much more than the light dose Narcotic. If you don’t have any kind of addiction issues. Many years ago, the military refused to issue me the opioid and the ibuprofen me right into the hospital. They gave me so much anti-inflammatory NSAIDs. I developed an allergic reaction. I want to tell you that I had withdrawals so unbelievable after I was told to stop with the NSAIDs. Eventually, my doctors outside of the military settled on devon which was recalled in 200seven and then we settled on Percocet where I stay after all these years. I don’t find the five or 10 mg I take twice a day of any consequence, except that it gets rid of a tailbone problem pain that the doctors haven’t been able to resolve. There’s little that can be done with your tailbone. Everything else I’ve had replaced like my joints in my spine, but it’s the tailbone pain that could never be remedied. The other thing I like is MFR deep my facial tissue release and there’s a section here on that you should read up on. It’s really helpful because my muscles all of them tend to tighten up. They said I will need that for the rest of my life. I’m 68 years old. I’ve tried everything. For three or four weeks now I’ve been on an increased exercise regime of an hour and a half a day because the surgeon’s not ready to do surgery again and the pain management doctor said no more steroid injections for now. I take bioidentical hormones and I’m on the bone medicines. I take vitamin vitamin DThat need is also something that runs in the family and I inherited gout so I take medicine for that. But it’s the exercise an hour and a half a day that’s become addictive and actually is making me feel better than I felt in 25 or 30 years. I hate it. I hate having to exercise, but it is what it is and I want my life back.

Have had chronic pain since I had back surgery in 1989. Yrs the weather really affects me. I can guarantee anyone when it is going to rain. It affects me the day before it rains. I look up the barometric pressure is below 30. We don’t get a tremendous amount of rain here (Northern California). The funny part is it doesn’t affect me in the summer. We usually get no rain in the summer but we do get low pressure. Doesn’t make since to me.

Yes, and my arthritis in my hands is affected by the weather. There are days that I can't walk if the pressure is changing. When I know a bad storm is coming in, I start taking my Tramadol and take it every 6 hours for couple days and that helps me thru the bad times.

I can predict storms with my arthritis. It hurts real bad the day before, then the storm hits and it eases up. Weird, right?

Without doubt my back pain is worse in the colder months, my intake of pain killers increases every winter. I can literally tell the weather with my back.

I believe it to be the barometric pressure that has the greatest affect on my pain despite the attempt to figure how not to hurt at night in general to allow me to sleep.

Me too

Yes!

The fog rolled in last night and put my nerve on fire in my upper back.

Yes every time a storm system moves in. We’re in the desert so any storms or dip in temps causes major flare ups.
I usually get the heating pad out, take a little pain medication and try to ride it out.
