ONE IN FOUR PEOPLE CAN “FEEL IT IN THEIR KNEES” WHEN A STORM’S A-COMIN’

is this really a thing?
Published January 23, 2024

Someone polled thousands of people and asked if they think joint pain and headaches can predict storms.  52% said yes, 24% said no, and another 24% said they were not sure.  So almost half of us think it MIGHT be B.S.

Around one in four people claimed THEY can feel it in their joints when the weather’s changing.  And one in six said they could tell because a headache was coming on.

So is it a thing, or are people just delusional?  Turns out there is some science to back it up.

When a storm is on the way, the air pressure drops.  And that can cause the tissue in your body to swell up and irritate your joints, especially if you have arthritis.  And yes, it can also cause headaches.
