Morning everyone, I've noticed I've had a lot more pain and swelling lately so it made me wonder if it's because of the summer weather? Has anyone else noticed that their OA gets worse in the heat or is it just me?

@painman Hello painman, thank you for starting this discussion! I'm sorry you're having more pain. Let me tag some members who can weigh in on this.

Hello everyone, how are you today? Have you noticed that you tend to have more OA flares or pain in summer? Do you think the heat or humidity impacts it? What do you do to ease the pain? Feel free to share here!

@painman @Courtney_J Personally I'm not having any worse symptoms than usual, fortunately. But I think there is something about humidity or air pressure that can affect the joints and swelling. I usually have a harder time in the cold.
