This is the reason many people like living in the desert.

I have read studies that drops in temperatures and drops in barometric pressure increases pressure inside the joints. For myself, with arthritis from 3 missing lumbar discs/3 crushed cervical vertebrae/job related finger arthritic pain, along with many sports related injuries, I cannot say this has much to do with temperature changes or drops or lower barometric pressure.

I find mine more related to the activities I have done, but I will say, extremely cold weather does increase these problems, but I relate that more to lower blood temperatures, which in turn effect muscle movements(contraction and extension)until I am sufficiently warmed up.

As always, every person's body as individual as fingerprints.

Oh, there is definitely something to it, I get migraines when the a front is coming. Sometimes, I feel like I don't even need to watch the weather.....

I have experienced sinus pressure and pain with barometric changes for many years - half my life at least. My knees have been complaining as well the last 5-6 years. That still "surprises" me because while I expect it with my sinuses I still don't routinely expect it with my knees. Guess I should start expecting it!

Well I know how BP affects me.  I have Fibro and I can tell snow is coming up to three weeks away.  I'm also affected by thunderstorms and cold.  98 per cent of my illness (Fibromyaliga) is weather related and it stinks.

Ohhh!  This might be why my bones are talking to me more lately.  I exercise almost everyday (since May) so I was wondering why the last couple of weeks my stiffness is worse.

Yes, @hckynut, I think its the little bursea (did I spell that right?) sacks around the joints that react. They're filled with fluid.
