Joint pain not caused by weather, reveals study

New research from The George Institute for Global Health has said that the weather plays no part in the symptoms associated with either back pain or osteoarthritis.
Say the researchers, The belief that pain and inclement weather are linked dates back to Roman times. But our research suggests this belief may be based on the fact that people recall events that confirm their pre-existing views. Human beings are very susceptible so it is easy to see why we might only take note of pain on the days when it is cold and rainy outside, but discount the days when they have symptoms but the weather is mild and sunny. People who suffer from either of these conditions should not focus on the weather as it does not have an important influence on your symptoms and it is outside your control.
