Doctors confirm the influence of wet weather on arthritis pain

A study by the University of Manchester has confirmed that people suffering from long-term health problems, such as arthritis, feel more pain during rainy and humid days.

Such a thing has long been claimed by people suffering from these diseases.

In Albania, you often find people affected by rheumatism or arthritis, who know very well when the weather will change when the pain hits them.

Pain for them is a warning signal and when the temperatures change it becomes greater.

What is arthritis?

Arthritis is a term that groups more than 100 different autoimmune diseases and disorders that cause pain, stiffness, and swelling of the joints and joints.

Autoimmune diseases usually involve an immune system attacking the body.

Such an attack is carried out by white blood cells that, instead of attacking bacteria and infections, attack the healthy tissues around the joints.

The most common forms of arthritis are: osteoarthritis, rheumatism and fibromyalgia.

Each of the diseases in question has characteristic signs and symptoms, but in some cases they overlap with each other.

In addition to the obvious symptoms that affect the joints, these diseases such as arthritis or rheumatism are also manifested by other symptoms.

Pain and weather

Researchers at the University of Manchester analyzed the data of 2,500 people suffering from arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine etc.

They claimed the pain was worse on humid days.

Most were convinced that thanks to pain they could also predict the weather.

Studies on these claims and the impact of weather on pain have been limited.

The experts recorded the daily level of pain for each participant for up to 15 months.

When the weather was wet and windy, the odds of worsening pain were 20% higher.

When the weather was cold and damp, the pains worsened further.

Experts said that if scientists discover the connection between moisture and pain, they will pave the way for new, more efficient treatments against diseases./AgroWeb
