The monsoon is a season that brings new life into the world, but it also brings many challenges. People become ill more easily during this season due to the risk of infection. Aside from that, joint pain, arthritis, bone disorders, and old injury pain all cause problems during the monsoon.

The monsoon season provides relief from the humidity, sun, and scorching heat. This season is lush with greenery, but the rainy season brings with it a slew of dangerous diseases. People are also looking forward to this season. Along with tea, street food is consumed to the fullest during this time. However, during the rainy season, there is a risk of infection. During this time of year, more people become ill. During this season, people also experience joint pain, arthritis, bone disorders, and old injuries. These discomforts get worse during the monsoon season.

After all, why does joint pain worsen during the rainy season, and what causes it? Let us now hear from the experts.

Why does joint pain increase in the monsoon?

"Monsoon is a refreshing season, but it also brings many difficulties," said Dr. Ashwani Maichand, Director of Orthopedics at CK Birla Hospital in Delhi. In which people are bothered by old injuries and suffer from joint pain, arthritis, and bone disorders. This pain is not caused by rain. It's because of the low barometric pressure. The air pressure in the atmosphere is referred to as barometric pressure. When the pressure in the body decreases, so do the swelling and pain in the muscles. Cramping with pain in the tissues, muscles, and joints can occur as a result of the low temperature.

Dr. Ashwini stated that people who have old injuries to their bones and joints must endure pain during these times. During the monsoon, the moisture in the atmosphere can also cause an increase in blood pressure, which can cause body aches. This causes dehydration, which exacerbates the situation. The most effective way to relieve pain is with a hot compress.

Dr. Vivek Dahiya, director of the Institute of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Orthopedics in Medanta, Gurugram, explained that, in addition to the reduction in barometric pressure during the monsoons, high humidity can cause minor tissue expansion in the body. This may put additional strain on the joints. Furthermore, sudden shifts in temperature, such as moving from a hot to a cold environment, can affect joint health and potentially cause pain in people who already have joint problems.

What should I do to get relief from joint pain in the rainy season?

People with joint pain and old injuries, according to Dr. Ashwini, should stay warm before and during the rains. Other ways to avoid joint and chronic injury pain during the monsoon include regular exercise, keeping pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medications on hand, controlling weight, and performing stretching exercises.

According to Dr. Vivek, "in comparison to other seasons, individuals need to be physically active during the monsoon season to avoid joint pain and discomfort from previous injuries." It's worth a shot. For proper treatment of monsoon-related joint problems, consult an expert."
