Mesenteric Panniculitis or Sclerosing Mesenteritis

Hi everyone,
I have been keeping a detailed diary of my activities, pain level, diet and weather for the past week and have noticed something that I had been suspecting for some time. When there is a low pressure weather system coming in, my discomfort level from the MP seems to increase. Has anyone else noticed this correlation? My pains from MP are on my lower right abdominal quadrant and since my fall in 2014 (what I believe to be the trigger for everything!), my right knee and my right elbow have become so sore when a low pressure system moves into the area that it feels as though someone has taken a hammer and smashed my elbow and my knee cap. Since the fall, I have had to add a rheumatologist to my team of specialists! I find it odd that all of these maladies seem to be occurring on the right side of my body (though the brunt of my fall occurred on my lower left side of my back!) and all occurring after the trauma of the fall! I am beginning to wonder if the weather causes inflammation in the body generally (not just in joints such as the knee or elbow) and if it is complicating my recovery....

Wow so interesting ! Happy New Year all! I hope you have enjoyed some time for Christmas and/or Holidays! Welcome Lisa @cconers ! Just catching up. I’m away and internet not always reliable! I too am affected by air pressure changes. I’m unsure at what kind of a change-how extreme-it has to be, but I know migraine sets in and then MP follows suit! Very interesting-everyone in my family laughs at my “weather” knee! But extreme cold is desperate for me. Of course that fits into the “stress” catagory for me! And as I age heat is not good either. Reaction mostly the same-headache starts with ear aches, diahhrea, indigestion, right side lower and/or top left sides pain start. It’s when nausea starts I know I’m really in trouble! Once the switch is on,I have to really pay attention to all stressors or meds become essential.
Thank you all for your support and caring words! I can’t say often enough how it’s great to have others around who really get it!
