Is it true about broken bones and weather?!


Question: Is it true about broken bones and weather!?

Yes, broken bones can cause joint pain!.

Bone pains in cold weather may be associated with Cold Agglutinin Disease (very common - 1 out of 64 people in the population), where Immunoglobulin M (or G) antibodies attack red blood cells!. It would make sense to say that these same Immunoglobulins attack the joint area (as well) in cold weather, but this is only my hypothesis!. In support of my hypothesis, Cold Agglutinin Disease has been associated with Rheumatoid arthritis, where joints are attacked by IgM!.

A more simple explanation is that when there is a decrease in temperature, there is an increase in pressure!. (Rearrange chemistry equation PV = nRT)

You can take some ibuprofen (Advil) to help the inflammation, and/or use some warm/heated towels to reduce the pressure!.

Hope that helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, that is true if the break was in a joint!. My husband has had knee surgeries, and the rainy/cooler weather always makes his knees ache!. He is actually a good barometer, and can tell me when rain is coming, before there's a cloud in the sky!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
