Many people who suffer from joint pain say their symptoms worsen during cold weather. Why is this do? Dr Randall Braddom, a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the Riverview Medical Centre in New Jersey, says there may be several reasons for this.
One popular hypothesis is that in cold weather, the body attempts to conserve more warm blood around the heart. This lead to less blood being circulated to peripheral areas, causing stiffening of the joints.
Another idea is that when blood flow is lowered, the pressure in the joints is reduced. This cause tissue surrounding the joint to expand, resulting in the pain.
