Why does previously broken bones hurt when there’s a change in the weather?

I’ve experienced it and heard from other people too that before rain or extreme change in weather the bone just starts to ache for no reason. What’s the explanation?

Changes in air pressure.

You know how you always here people saying “there’s a storm coming” because they can “feel it in my _____ [body part that’s usually had surgery].”

Changes in weather are generally precipitated by a change in air pressure. Warm / cold fronts travel along the leading edge of a high/low pressure system.

That pressure gets felt in the body. Usually through a change in pressure in minuscule amounts of fluids in old surgical sites.
