A study led by the University of Sydney has found that there is no clear connection between weather changes and back, knee, or hip pain. There has been a common belief that changes in weather can trigger or worsen musculoskeletal pain or arthritis, but this study contradicted that. It found that high temperatures and low humidity may double the risk of gout flare, but no clear pattern was found for other musculoskeletal conditions. The study also highlighted that there are widespread misconceptions and limited treatment options for these conditions, and patients are often left to navigate their medical conditions without proper support. The findings were published in Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism.
