Why do some people's bones hurt before it rains?

I don't get pain in my bones when the weather changes but I experience increased emotional sensitivity and anxiety/panic.

I also feel extremely tired when it rains and my head gets all woozy and strange. I also get headaches before a major storm.

This is going to sound strange, but TXGal4Truth if that's you in your avatar, you look so much like me it's uncanny!! It's a little creepy to be honest. lol

It's the body sensing changes in barometric pressure. I was an athlete for many years and this happens to me every single time. I have arthritic changes for years from track, basketball and softball. I'm more accurate than our local weather man and his super doppler thingy.

For me, once the rain starts the aching stops. The aching is before the rain for about 24 hours.

In me it can trigger "Phantom Pains" that are quite sever at times.

It kills me, especially if it is damp and cold. I have a back injury, and it is brutal when the weather is wet.

I don't know why, but I feel it in some of my old breaks.

Mostly, the older ones. The most recent breaks, my tibia and fibia nearly 3 years ago, never bother me.

Phantom Pains huh. I guess that's a no.

The barometric pressure drops preceding bad weather. You will feel it in your bones because there is water inside your bones.....and it takes at least 24 hours to be equalized to the reduced atmospheric pressure in the air.



This is it. Drop in barometric pressure causes expansion from the reduced air pressure. Like makes them swell and then they hurt. Not always actual visible swelling but am sure you know what I mean.


Then why doesn't going up a tall building in an elevator or flying in an aircraft hurt the same way? The differences in air pressure are greater for the elevator/airplane scenario?

Just for the record I have had five knee surgeries and numerous broken bones, and cold, wet weather is miserable. Why? Beats the hell out of me and my orthopedic surgeon.

Its called arthritis dear, why do you change you picture alot? lol you are a pretty girl.,But change it so much. Are you a model or something?

Barometric pressure is not affected by heights other than aircraft height.

What the hell does that mean? Are you saying that if I take a barometer to 18,000 feet it will read the same as at sea level?

For as long as I can remember, my grandparents always used to say that they knew it was going to rain because their bones were aching. I always blew it off as BS. It wasn't until my mid 20's that I started experiencing the same thing. I thought it was an age thing, but my 12 year old daughter experiences the same thing a few days before it rains.

I've also read that this happens when someone has experienced a fracture or break in a bone, those bones can become hyper-sensitive to atmospheric pressure changes, which is true for me as I broke and fractured several bones in a severe accident several years ago.

Just wanted to know what you guys thought about this.

No, I am saying that going up in a building, even a very high rise, will not affect barometric pressure ~ the pressure reading WILL be affected once you reach altitude, such as those achieved by aircraft.

The pressure difference 100 feet in altitude is negligible.
