When a bone heals after being broken, it can leave small spaces inside that might have air bubbles or fluid. When the weather changes, especially with shifts in air pressure, these bubbles or fluids can move slightly. This movement can press on the nerves near the old break, causing mild aches or pain. It’s similar to how your ears might “pop” when you go up a mountain or fly in an airplane due to changes in air pressure. For people with healed broken bones, these changes can sometimes be felt as pain.
