Arthritis and the weather…Is it just me?

I have osteoarthritis all over the place and find the amount of pain and stiffness I’ll have in a day very unpredictable and frustrating. Wet weather doesn’t seem to affect it but hot weather does make it worse.

Wet and damp weather affects me most osteoarthritis is a miserable pain that is hard to describe. I have it all over the place I find it hinders my movement and frustrating to say the least.

I have osteo arthritis, yes the cold weather does affect my knees. In the summer I am fine.

I’ve got aching joints as well, especially knees and especially first thing in the morning. Do you have Rheumatoid Arthritis or Osteoarthritis (age related). I have the latter, but my friend has the former and she is on steroids etc. Mine is manageable with anti-inflammatory tabs. I dont take them daily, just as and when required.
And yes, the damp weather doesn’t help. So I stay in the warm most of the time.

Does it make a difference whether it’s OA or RA. I know many people are affected by the weather but I can’t understand it as I don’t notice any difference. Perhaps the bad weather makes people less active and they stiffen up
