Do Cold Baths Cause ARTHRITIS?

April 12th, 2010 -- Posted in General, Tips | No Comments »

Lately, my mother been suffering from pains that seem to worsen at night. Someone told me that it may because she always bath at night with cold water. Is this just a myth? or can bathing in cold water really lead to Rheumatoid  arthritis (RA) ?

Actually, bathing at night with cold water does not cause Rheumatoid  arthritis (RA). However, exposure to cold can sometimes aggravate joint or muscle pain if you have problems in the joins or the surrounding tissue, eg. ligaments, tendons and muscles.

Cold stiffens muscle and changes the inner pressure of joints, resulting in pain.
