According to a recent study, bad weather making your joints ache is a myth. The research found that weather conditions in 45 US cities are indeed associated with Google searches about joint pain. They created search strings of words and phrases for hip pain, knee pain and arthritis, as well as a control search related to stomach pain. Temperatures and searches below 23 degrees were aggregated into one group, as were temperatures and searches above 86 degrees. Among the weather variables, only temperature and precipitation were found to have statistically significant associations, and only with searches for knee and hip pain.
