Ever Experienced Extreme Pain Due To Temperature Drop

A myRAteam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Council Bluffs, IA

The past two days there has been an extreme temperature drop as we've gone from having 70s in the morning to low 40s. What I'm experiencing is having pain in my hands and that is something very new as it's never happened before. Has anyone ever had an issue with experiencing an extreme pain level like this before when the weather has this kind of drop?

Sue, the change in barometric pressures have been my main enemy with flares and fast onset pain. I also live with a heating pad. I found that I can't let my house get to cold because it hurts my bones.

Hi Sue, I definitely notice the weather change. I use heat pads a lot to help and also I have a brace I use on my hands that help a lot.

Hi Sue, when the cold wet weather sets in I definitely feel it. I pull out the heated throw blanket πŸ€—
