Why does chronic pain tend to get worse under certain weather conditions?

Asked by augustlan (47745points) May 7th, 2012

Fibromyalgia, arthritis, that old football injury… everyone with chronic pain says it tends to flare up under certain weather conditions. I know bad weather does a number on me, that’s for sure. Sometimes even when the weather goes from bad (in my view, cold and rainy or snowy) to good (sunny and dry), it exacerbates my pain. What is the reason behind that?

What has your experience with chronic pain and weather issues been like?
