Old injuries as weather predictors

[cnelk]

Any of you other geezers have an old injury that flares up when the when is going to change?

I severed 8 tendons in my hand about 12 years ago.
The past couple years it’s become really noticeable when the weather changes.

Totally destroyed my left hand/wrist in high school. Broke a whole lot of bones, lots of hardware installed, etc. Very reliable pressure change indicator.

Yes. Left Shoulder(dislocation + falls), Right hand (severed middle tendon), Back (slipped vertebrae).

Cracked my skull in a few places including through the sinus area from my nose to above my ear on the right side. I have a weather station with a display of pressure and eventually realized my right side sinus headaches correlated quite well with low pressure.

Slightly different, but I have about 20-25 pieces of shrapnel that are in my right thigh that remind me that they are there when it gets cold out.

I don't hurt all of the time but pain in my muscles at night correlates with barometric pressure changes that come with the cold fronts from Canada/ Alaska. I'm sure the foundation for that comes from the tendonitis from PMR and previous injuries from an active life.

Arthritis in my shoulders and back let me know when a storm is coming. Usually starts 2-3 days before it arrives.

For me it’s the knees, I have torn the meniscus a couple times and have had to have it repaired. They start aching the day before a storm.

Too many that hurt on a regular basis.
I hurt all the time, and it’s hard to tell which is weather related

i can feel in my left knee when bad or cold weather is coming up. but i wont complaint i can still walk despite the injury, surgeon did a deep great job after an accident.

My ankles let me know when the deep freeze is coming.

I broke the Tib/Fib in my ankle years ago , for ten or fifteen years it would let me know when the rainy weather was coming . Not so bad down here .

My wife gets hemiplegic migraines. We've all but concluded that it is caused by rapid pressure swings. Sure enough this week it snowed here and we had a large pressure change and she got one.

Not an injury perse but it's something.

Oh man, this is an interesting one for me. I broke 3 bones on the top of my right hand in high school, 44 years ago. I can still feel a slight bother in that hand when the barometric pressure is making huge swings.

I call my wife the human barometer. She gets a headache anytime a weather front moves in.

Totally destroyed my left hand/wrist in high school. Broke a whole lot of bones, lots of hardware installed, etc. Very reliable pressure change indicator.

Me too, car accident 30 years ago, broke the left arm in three pieces. Still have 6" of metal, pins and a bunch of screws on the radius. It lets me know when things are changing, the cold is around and when I try to lift things.

Also broke the left patella in college and it aches when ever we get a weather change.

My ankles let me know when the deep freeze is coming.

My left leg and ankle look like that, I had some of it removed about 3 years after my initial surgery and after getting a second opinion, let me tell you it was the best thing I ever did, immediate relief, I encourage anyone full of hardware like that to get more than one opinion about getting it taken out if at all possible.

Same. I wish when I’m having a bad knee/back/shoulder/hand day the weather would turn, but it’s seems to just be me most of the time.
