This sounds totally bizarre, even to me, but has anyone else noticed a correlation between the weather/seasons and tendon pain?

Last year I was supposed to see the doc for tendon problems (turned out it was torn) and I postponed because once the cool weather hit the symptoms subsided.

This year I've been in foot agony and walking in the Darth for weeks. The weather turned cool yesterday and suddenly I can limp along without the darth.

Anyone else experience this?

Thanks!

I have had the same tendon torn 3 times and I have found the opposite. Everytime it turns cold I am in more pain. If I put my foot on the cold tile pain shoots right up my leg.

I have found that since the weather changed in NY, I have had terrible pain in my right foot. I was once diagnosed with tendonitis several years back. After a week or so, the foot got better. Now, all of a sudden, it's back. Its' been one week that I have been hobbling around; hoping it will get better. If there is no change by Monday, I'll be off to the Podiatrist. I do think the weather has a lot to do with the pain.

Last summer before my surgery I became better at predicting the weather than the weather man! My office is a "cave" and I would be able to tell when a storm was coming without ever looking outside. More than once I told my coworker, "I think it is storming out" and sure enough, each time it was!:cool:

I notice a difference if it is going to rain. Seems like a difference in the barometric pressure affects me more so than temperature. But I do like cold better than hot always.

almost any injury that has longterm effects cause someone to be the walking weather person. i had a tib/fib/talus fracture three years ago after a car accident. and now have osteoarthritis and tendonitis in my ankle. i live where the weather is quite bipolar, one day it snows the next its 65 degrees. but for me anything below 65 is excrutiating. i wake up knowing the temp. and when i visit phx for a weekend, low and behold its not as bad

ha ha! Bipolar weather! I love it. I can relate as Louisiana is famous for it's bipolar weather. We can have thirty-forty degree swings overnight regularly in the winter. And we have high humidity which wreaks havoc on the joints, too.
