Overview

The majority of people that suffer from conditions such as arthritis report feeling severe or less commonly moderate pain when a weather front is approaching.[2] Symptoms also occur when the humidity level changes and when precipitation manifests itself or changes pattern.[2] Other conditions reported in relation to this are any bone injuries, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and carpal tunnel syndrome.[3] Victims of explosives also suffer from similar pains due to micro-fractures along their skeletal system.[citation needed]
