Tendons and the weather - Foot Problems Message Board

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!
