Why are people who have had broken bones able to “feel it when it’s raining?”
In: Biology
It’s not a matter of having broken bones, it just varies from person to person. Sometimes people who have never broken a bone can feel it, sometimes people who have broken bones can’t feel it. It just depends on the person, like whether they can easily whistle or whether they can wiggle their ears.
The reason is because just before it rains there is a drop in barometric pressure. You can see this easily with a barometer, but it also can have various physiological effects. If anything I would say that people with arthritis or that kind of thing can probably feel the drop in pressure more easily, because it can cause expansion of the joints in your body. (Less pressure outside the body, same pressure inside the body, joints expand — those with joint ailments like arthritis are more sensitive to changes in the joints because of inflammation)
