Daily News | The Philly forecast calls for rain mixed with pain Thursday. Is health that tied to weather?
With April showers in the forecast yet again for Thursday in the Philly region, joint pain “is likely to be severe and last longer.” More pain is possible Friday.But patient discretion is advised, says Mike Doll, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather Inc.,Dr. Algorithm, informed by research that has linked atmospheric variables to pain onset, is the author of those prognoses.
He was on a mission to settle the debate. “I must agree that this ‘weather effect’ is not just another old wives’ tale,” wrote Hollander — a self-described weather-sensitive arthritis sufferer — in a paper describing his experiment. With the changing environment, seven of the eight subjects experienced “significantly worsening” pain during most of the exposures.
Even subtle changes can trigger pain, said Brett Smith, who is with the Blount Memorial Physicians Group, Rheumatology, in Maryville, and East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, in Knoxville.
