Autumn time is pain time for the joints

The start of fall is not a good time for people with joint pain. This is because the onset of the cold season worsens the pain in the joints of many sufferers. Joint pain often occurs in the knee and hip joints, but elbows and fingers are also frequent sources of pain. Many sufferers report that their joint pain gets worse in the fall, and it’s not just their imagination! If there are already signs of wear and tear in one or more joints, the symptoms often get worse in cold, wet weather. There are many possible factors behind this phenomenon. It has been scientifically proven that there is a connection between the intensity of pain and sudden changes in the weather from high to low pressure, which are usually accompanied by falling air pressure, decreasing air temperature and increasing humidity. However, it has not yet been scientifically proven why wetness and cold affect the joints in particular. It is reasonable to assume that changes in the weather irritate pain receptors and that inflamed joints can swell when air pressure decreases. Although weather influences are not a cause of illness, they do attack the body in areas that are already weakened. In addition, the lack of light during the gray season can make some people feel mentally unwell, which can also have a physical impact. Many people also tend to go into sleep mode during the cold and dark season. Autumn is also associated with the time to let go and wind down. A time of rest and retreat. You should try to avoid this, at least on a physical level! It is important to keep your muscles active. This ensures good blood circulation and nutrient exchange, including in the joints. Joints that are not sufficiently active suffer from a lack of nutrients. Waste products are also not removed sufficiently. Swimming and aqua aerobics are gentle sports that can also be practiced during the cold season. Regular walks can also be particularly beneficial in fall and winter.
