Warm weather impacting joint pain?
The ability to reply to this post has been turned off.
For me, I start walking more with some pain because I like being outside. I like all seasons but I love when Springtime comes. I admit that I take a tylenol about 30 minutes before I start walking. I don't push myself at first. But as I get more comfortable I walk a little longer.
Im not sure why, but some days more pain, other days almost none. In general I have much less pain in the warmer months but I think alot of it is Im outside, more active, more sunshine, less depression, Im distracted, etc. I do believe the barometer plays a role in my knee pain, seems like when stormy weather moving in and barometer drops to 29, my knee hurts more. When barometer is around 31 I notice less pain
