Minor and major traumas, adverse movements and weight gain over the years cause damage to the ligaments. Wearing of the ligaments surrounding the joint and sedentary life result in calcification in the joints. Cold weather also increases the chronic pain experienced in muscle disorders such as myofascial pain syndrome.
What Should Be Done to Relieve Pain?
One of the biggest causes of pain in the winter months is that the muscles and joints that are active in summer suddenly enter a closed, cold and inactive life. Cold and humid weather increases joint pain, people with chronic pain complaints should prefer warm environments. Using gloves and a scarf in cold and snowy weather, consuming hot drinks, and exercising whenever possible helps control pain.
