@sapinker @statnews @EricBoodman A change in temperature certainly can: muscles relax when warm and tense when cold.

@sapinker @Vilsjin @statnews @EricBoodman I don't blame the weather. I blame the evil German surgeons who cut the cartilage out of my knee.

@sapinker @DJGrothe @statnews @EricBoodman however the article contradict itself explainin how change in pressure could influence knee pain

@sapinker @statnews @EricBoodman Because the environment has no affect on the body?

@sapinker my grandmother didn't mythologize her arthritic pain, she just felt it with certain changes in weather.

@sapinker @statnews @EricBoodman for the same reason people think you'll get a cold from some rainy weather. Hmm, viruses live in raindrops?

@sapinker @statnews @EricBoodman & yet, when it rains, the blood flow in my right residual limb is constricted so much, I can't wear my leg.

@sapinker @statnews @EricBoodman My consultant said my smashed elbow would play up in bad weather forever more, the charlatan quack...

@sapinker @statnews @EricBoodman If being uncomfortable (ie:too cold, too hot) decreases pain thresholds, then uncomfortable weather may impact perception of pain, no?

@sapinker @DJGrothe @statnews @EricBoodman and why only knee pain? Dodgy hand joints can hurt in cold wet days...

@sapinker @statnews @EricBoodman what is the saying "correlation is not causation."?

@sapinker @statnews @EricBoodman This is one I used to believe too.

@sapinker @statnews @EricBoodman thought there was a truth in the old saying "the ill winds". In the UK it meant a icy blast from the east

@sapinker @statnews @EricBoodman ...new research advocates "Serial Coincidence!"
