Ever wonder why joints hurt when it's cold? Is it mere coincidence and is there anything you can do about it?

During periods of cold whether, particularly winter time, there is an increase in lower body pain.

Cold weather can cause the joints to hurt because cold weather causes a change in the joint fluid. Cold temps cause the joint fluid to thicken, and this subsequent shrinking of the tissues in turn pulls on the nerve endings and causes pain.

This begs the question, is there anything you can do about it? The answer is YES.
