Why does pain intensify on humid or rainy days?


Question:


Answers:
the change in barometric pressure, or the pressure outside your body, causes the pain. when it gets cold or rainy or snows outside, the barometric pressure increases, placing more pressure from the outside of your body on your joints. therefore, they hurt more.

Other Answers:
Because it's all in your head. The rain and humidity will make you more depressed - thus it makes you think of the bad things in your life - including pain.

It's a proven fact that in places where it is more drowsy and the weather isn't as nice, the suicide levels are higher.
barometric pressure changes. its not in you head
becasue it effects your bones
It's not uncommon for rainy weather to cause pain. Especially if it's a previously injured joint or broken bone area. When the barometric pressure drops, like just before or during a storm, bubbles in our joints and bones become agitated. The result is pain... deep down type of pain. OTC drugs like Aleve will provide some relief.
it depends on the extent of injuries or rheumatism. when temperature falls lower than 26degrees, pain may intensify due to the overuse and wearing-out of the tendons and ligaments.
it's not in my head,before i even knew it was going to rain i was hurting pretty bad.
