I can not remember the last sunny day! This entire week has been cloudy and wet. Day after day. That is a lot of barometric pressure.

In my office I routinely hear patients telling me how they hate rainy days because somehow all their aches and pains are magnified. Obviously, those complaints have been magnified these past few weeks as well.

When patients start talking about their old football injury that “really acts up” when it rains, or how it is especially hard to get out of bed with such an aching back on rainy days these statements are music to my ears. It is my opportunity to explain the long-term effects of not taking care of your body.
