Share :

Remember grandma complaining about pain in the knees and legs during the rainy season and cold weather? Have you ever wondered why this happens? And more importantly, how to reduce and manage this pain?

In this blog, we will discuss this critical health issue, and provide a seamless solution as well.

Why Joints Pain During Monsoon?

There are several types of research and studies done on the aspect of joints, muscle, and ligament pain during monsoon, and there is strong evidence that suggests there is a strong relationship between joint pain and weather.

For instance, as per some studies, it has been found that changes in barometric pressure have a strong bearing on sudden joint pain during monsoon. Due to changes in the atmospheric pressure, the muscles, tendons, and scar tissues expand and contract, which results in joint pain, especially for arthritis patients.

Besides, low temperature and high humidity can make the fluids inside the joints thicker, which directly results in joint pain.

Another theory by researchers states that if the cartilages that cushion the bones within a joint are worn off, then the nerves in the exposed bones can be triggered during the rainy season, which can result in joint pain.

Moreover, during the rainy season, when it’s pouring outside, physical movements tend to reduce, thereby making the inactive joints stiff and thus, painful.

Hypothyroidism, a condition wherein the thyroid doesn’t create enough thyroid hormones to release into the bloodstream, has also an effect on joint pain, especially during monsoon. Common effects can be muscle stiffness, aches, tenderness, and stiffness, especially in the shoulders and hips.

Now, more research is being conducted to find the relation between Hypothyroidism and the rainy season, and more details are awaited.
