Can your bones forecast the weather?

My "bone" is very good at detecting when its about to get "wet".
Very naughty! Not that kind of bone!

i am guessing, elsewhere, that it therefore knows "whether"?
as for the OT, yes! the knee that got
trashed in a motorcycle accident is
an incredibly accurate forecaster -

For years after I broke my ankle it would ache when the weather was about to change. A couple of years ago my wife broke her leg and had a plate put in it. The same thing now happens to her. We were talking about this with my brother (a doctor) and he says he's heard it so many times he's sure there's something to it.

Animals know when the weather's going to change. Maybe, it's something that we humans suppressed through evolution.
It could be a sick/elderly/injured person's warning system to head for the hills or hunker down or something. Ya think?

They do, at that.
I remember the horses and mules kicking up a fit before a storm. We knew to batten down the hatches.

I don't know.

On Friday I found out why my bones are hurting. I have a severe Vitamin D deficiency. I have to take prescribed Vitamin D, 50,000 IU three times a week. I'm going in for a bone scan on Monday. I hope that I don't have osteomalacia.
My Vitamin D level is 5. Normal values run from 30+ to 70+.
So, it wasn't the weather that was making my bones hurt this time.

This is a long-standing myth, sort of like the myth that Vitamin C fights colds.
Atmospheric conditions (pressure, temperature, humidity) do not affect the temperature, pressure, or humidity inside your body. Therefore there is no plausible way that the weather could affect joint pain.
Anecdotes to the contrary can most likely be chalked up to confirmation bias, just like the vitamin C/cold thing.

drwtsn32, I know where you're coming from with the mythology belief; but I gotta tell ya that sometimes my bones do hurt with barometric changes. I googled this phenomenon and found out that doctors are starting to take heed to their patients beliefs. There were even some research studies done on it (if my memory serves me correctly). One research study was about edema and inflammation causing pain in arthritic joints during changes in barometric pressure. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080530174619.htm

Barometric pressure can affect he water in your body and yes,it can cause discomfort to joints.Persinaly I like my joints dry and in those cool clear cellulose papers.
