Your bones hurt more during the monsoon, which makes normal functioning difficult. Dr. Ashwani Maichand, a bone surgeon in Delhi, explained in detail, "There is a relationship between joint pain and changing weather. Cold weather can be difficult for your joints.

In monsoon, many people begin to experience joint pain, muscle stiffness, and injury pain due to changes in humidity level, air pressure, and sudden temperature changes. This is because excessive levels of moisture can thicken blood, increase blood pressure in blood vessels and make it difficult for the body to pump blood."

Why does the monsoon cause joint pain?

Humid days can cause dehydration, resulting in less fluid accumulation around the joints, and they may worsen the pain. More than that, these factors can also worsen the pain of arthritis. A large number of people, especially above 60 years, complain of joint pain and stiffness. That is why it becomes necessary to control the pain instead of ignoring it. These are the best ways to relieve muscle and joint pain.
