Weather Related Aches

[Zen]

I am miserable with low grade pain in my hips and legs. I know it's due to low barometric pressure, I've experienced it for years but lately it seems worse.

My question is, if you have experienced this have you found anything to help, ie aspirin or tiger balm type stuff?
I'm gonna try both.
Baths usually help but it's too hot for a hot bath.

Have you tried any type of glucosamine/chondroitin products? The docs say it doesn't work, but I can't live without it for my rotator cuff tear. I use Phoenix Nutritionals version, Joint flow.

Apparently you have never experienced this.

you need a baryometric chamber. Or to start scuba diving.

I don't get this, but many many MANY of my patients do.

Several of them have told me that Tiger Balm helps.

I always know when the weather is gonna change, because the air has a clean and spicy scent.... ;)

Scuba diving makes me claustrophobic :o

I put on so much Absorbine Jr. that it filled my Crocs. That and two aspirin seem to have helped. Either that or a front went through.

I have experienced pain when weather changed, as it tends to do in Michigan. The weather here is a very fickle troublesome sort. But I know why I have pain in those spots, so that helps at least.

What part of my head do I rub the Tiger Balm to make my barometric change migraines go away? :rolleyes:

Zen, any chance you can go down to the Y and sit in the pool? I've found that soaking in water, whether it's hot or cool, will help my arthritis. Also, I've given up sugar and I was very surprised how my arthritis pain improved dramatically. I'm also going to stay away from processed foods and genetically modified products.

I'm feeling much better now, thanks. The weather changed :)
This is a muscle ache, not a joint ache. I guess if you've never experienced it, it's difficult to understand.

Does a heating pad with moist heat help? I used it on my sore muscles and it helped. Hope you have fewer achy days. :)

Massage?

*snort* I was wondering the same thing!

Does a heating pad with moist heat help? I posted this during the heat wave . A heating pad was the last thing I wanted to wear!:eek:

+1...though I had this in WI, too. It's the midwest and our insane fronts.

My knees can predict cold fronts (ever since puberty). But I will say that being active has made a huge difference. Running and biking have made things much more bearable. And "vitamin I."
