As June approaches, most of India braces itself to cope with extreme heat, humidity, sweating, and exertion. The problems become worse if you’re someone who suffers from a chronic pain condition, be it back pain, joint pains, or any other sort of pain.
Scientific studies have revealed that several pain conditions get aggravated in hot weather. In people who suffer from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, the heat and humidity of this weather can lead to swollen joints, leading to an increase in pain. Several other forms of pain are sensitive to humidity and ambient pressure, thus becoming stronger in summers. To add to the problems, excessive sweating can lead to dehydration and mineral imbalance, making pain situations even worse.
