I am so sorry for your pain.

My legs have been killing me too.

Yes the Barometric Pressure plays a huge role in pain. It is horrible.

I hope that you feel better soon.

Here is a great article about Pain and the Barometric pressure.

Just click on the link below:

Yes. Yes. Yes. I have a coastal low off Virginia that is just in enough to affect us in my area and OMG....

I know some docs claim weather and pain are not at all correlated, but it is. BTW, and it's not in your head---I heard that once, and I was like, Uh, no, it's just about everywhere *but*;-)

Good article link from Daisy:-)

Add another "Yes" to the tally. Barometric pressure changes bring me some of the worst pain I ever have.

I can usually tell up to 24 hours ahead of time if we have rain coming, etc. Such is life when you hurt from head to toe, your body becomes a measuring rod for those changes.

My two cents worth!!!

Hi All,
I am new to the group, as of today. I have been looking for a local support group and stumbled on this site.
I too find that the weather plays a big role on how I feel day to day.
Today, I am having pain in my back, neck, legs and head. It may get better later in the day...I just never know.

Yes, the weather can make me miserable . I generally know in advance if something is coming. And, I'm usually a whole lot more accurate than our local forecasters - lol.

I remember a Dutch study that was published a few months ago saying that weather played no part in Fibro pain and that article was picked up by the wire and printed in all the local papers. When I read I laughed because we all know how wrong that was. Who prints that crap? They only studied the patients for 28 days.

The weather here is still pretty mild but the cold nights are really getting to me. When we go from warm to cold in one day the pain in my legs and feet are off the charts and I'm more achy all over.

Yes definitely! When the pressure drops my pain increases dramatically. I live in North Louisiana so this time of the year with all the fronts coming up from the gulf and everything is agonizing. The warmer you can keep your muscles the better. I'm always freezing once the temp drop drops below 80-85, so I wear sweats pretty much all the time.

I have never really checked the barometer. But the pain his greater on cold nights, like we have been having lately. Warm days, cold nights. Of course it is true of a cold front coming in. I hurt so bad I bearly move all day. Thanks for the correlation, never crossed my mind.

Oh yes, the low pressure systems ALWAYS make my pain much much worse. I can always feel the weather changing. I asked my "ex" rheumatologist a while back if he thought weather changes and increased pain were related and he just said "Nope." as he was typing on his laptop without even looking up. He doesn't know what he's talking about!!
