Arthritis and cold weather
Does arthritis symptoms get worse or act up in winter? Or bad weather?
Sounds as if you do have RA.
Each type of arthritis can be affected by many different things.
My knees have RA...they act up in severe weather changes...even in summer. I always know in advance ( in the summer ) when it's about to rain...my knees feel like they have glass shards floating around in them, and I can't walk.
My hands have osteo...and if I use them too much they start to swell and hurt...but weather doesn't seem to affect them.
And yes...you can have more than one type...or so they tell me.

I was wondering. My hands are in a lot if pain since winter hit. Swollen, painful and stiff. Other joint pain and weakness too. But right now my hands and wrist are the worst. I can't open my water bottle and so on. A friend thinks I have RA.
