Why does body metal ache in the rain?

I have a rod in my knee and it aches when it rains outside. I have heard other people say the same about metal they have in their body.

It’s not the rain, it’s the drop in barometric (air) pressure.

Lower air pressure causes your body to increase it’s inflammation response. Tissues swell causing discomfort. The more injured or scarred the joint, the worse it feels.

Old injuries, surgery, arthritis are all amplified by low air pressure.

Hardware makes it even worse as the metal doesn’t expand or move the same way as tissues so your body really feels the difference.
