they say that people with arthritis can feel it when the weather becomes damper.
how is that, when the skeleton is wrapped-up inside the body?
😕
It has to do with barometric pressure.

There is a possibility that a lowering of barometric pressure results in an imbalance in our bodies. This could result in expansion of fluid around joints creating more internal pressure and subsequent increase in arthritis pain.

if it is actually about lower pressure, perhaps a pressure suit would help severe sufferers? or some sort of special pad which could be adhered and pumped-up? there may be an invention there somewhere?
