I feel the same way you do about the winter chills; in fact, I'm tagging additional people who might be able to connect to your situation or at least offer their ideas. Thank you for starting this conversation.

[This content has been moderated by an administrator.] Yes, many people have more aches and pains in cold weather, especially if they have conditions such as arthritis, chronic pain, or old injuries. Cold can cause muscles to tighten, reduce blood circulation, and make nerves more sensitive. Wearing layers, especially to protect your hands and feet, will help a lot.

I am in the severe range now at 74 yrs old. I have found thru trial and error and getting older with SA, I sleep on my back because I can hardly turn to my side now. I also take 10 mg Melatonin. I didn't know it came in 20 mg! (Thanks ladyslipper 67) What has really help with my back pain, when in bed, is a large memory foam wedge. The large end is under my knees and my legs go down to the small end. It doesn't move when I sleep but then again I am not turning over back and forth. This takes the pressure off my back. I hope this helps someone.

I know that the winter season is upon us but I have been in pain more than I recall especially during these cold weather conditions. I dont know if it is bcoz of the cold or another reason but I feel it has made my condition worse. Anyone else feel that way?
