Cold weather and joint pain: What is the connection?
Effects Who it affects Managing pain Contacting a doctor FAQ Summary Cold weather may worsen joint pain in some people, such as those with arthritis or orthopedic implants. Keeping warm by dressing appropriately for the weather and using draft excluders at home may help. Many people with health conditions such as arthritis report worsening joint pain when temperatures drop. Some research supports this, but more studies may be necessary for scientists to understand exactly why this happens and how common it is. Taking steps to stay warm may help reduce joint pain during cold weather. However, if someone experiences severe or persistent pain that interferes with their daily life, it is a good idea to speak with a healthcare professional. CatherineHistorically, most evidence of a link between cold weather and joint pain was anecdotal. However, in recent years, more researchers are investigating a cause-and-effect link. A 2025 review suggests that low temperatures may affect: compliance of the periarticular structures, which are tissues around a joint viscosity (resistance to flow) of synovial fluid, which is in joint cavities the ability of substances to pass through blood vessels, which may affect inflammation blood vessel constriction These effects may lead to increased joint pain and stiffness during cold weather. A 2023 systematic review of 14 studies suggests a correlation between increased osteoarthritis joint pain and lower temperatures, as well as increased atmospheric pressure and relative humidity. A potential cause for this is an overexpression of thermosensitive transient receptor potential channels (thermo-TRPs) in cold weather. Thermo-TRPs are a type of protein structure in cells involved in functions such as body temperature regulation and pain perception. However, the researchers conclude that more research is necessary to fully understand the links between osteoarthritis pain and weather conditions, including temperature. According to the 2025 review, cold weather may affect how people use care resources for health conditions such as arthritis. For example, lower temperatures may make people less likely to use physical therapy, which could contribute to increases in their symptoms. The Arthritis Foundation also suggests that cold weather may contribute to lower moods, which may cause people to focus more on their pain. More research is necessary to understand exactly how cold weather affects joint pain and other factors that may contribute. Not everyone will experience joint pain when it gets colder. However, certain health conditions may increase a person's chance. Pain is subjective and varies from person to person, even among people with the same health conditions. Mild pain for one person may feel severe for another. So, there is no guarantee everyone with arthritis will have painful joints when it gets colder. A 2020 study also suggests a link between cold weather and increased pain in people with orthopedic implants, such as joint replacements. If someone tends to experience worsening joint pain in colder temperatures, it can help to monitor weather forecasts to anticipate weather changes before they happen and take steps to prepare. Keeping warm may help reduce joint pain due to cold weather. People can try the following steps: wear warm clothes, such as gloves and multiple layers choose clothes made from insulating materials, such as wool use hot water bottles or portable hand warmers use heat pads or heated blankets at home place draft excluders or door sweeps on doors at home eat a hot meal or drink a warm drink move around to boost circulation If someone has a health condition that affects their joints, sticking to their treatment plan even during cold weather can help prevent worsening joint pain. A person's symptoms may differ depending on factors such as underlying health conditions, current treatments, and more. If someone does not have a diagnosed health condition but starts experiencing persistent or frequent joint pain, a doctor can diagnose the underlying cause. People with a health condition, such as arthritis, may benefit from speaking with a healthcare professional if they experience a severe flare-up or worsening symptoms. Their healthcare team may wish to change their current treatment plan to help them manage their symptoms. Although warmer temperatures may improve joint pain for some people, other weather factors, such as humidity and barometric pressure, can also affect joint pain. Treatment compliance and other factors may also contribute. The Arthritis Foundation suggests there is no guarantee a warmer climate will help. However, people can visit a new climate at different times throughout the year before committing to moving to see if their symptoms improve. No scientific studies support an 'ideal' temperature to reduce joint pain. The most comfortable temperature to relieve joint pain may vary from person to person. People can use a symptom journal to help work out what temperatures seem to relieve their joint pain and what temperatures worsen it. No scientific research supports using copper or magnetic bracelets to relieve joint pain during cold weather. However, the Arthritis Foundation suggests there is no harm in trying this remedy alongside a doctor-approved treatment plan. Some people may find that their symptoms improve due to the placebo effect. Cold weather may trigger or worsen joint pain in certain people, such as those with arthritis or joint replacements. Low temperatures may affect the fluid and tissues in and around joints, causing pain and stiffness. People may also focus on symptoms more and be less likely to follow treatment plans in cold weather. Taking steps to keep warm may help relieve joint pain that worsens in cold weather. This may include wearing multiple layers, using hand warmers or heat pads, and fitting draft excluders at home.

Lizzo FINALLY admits to using Ozempic amid extreme weight loss transformation
has finally admitted to briefly using Ozempic to aid in her extreme weight loss transformation. The Truth Hurts singer, 37 - who has confidently showed off her slimmer frame on social media - opened up about the topic during Thursday's episode of Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast. The Grammy winner explained that she started to take Ozempic at the beginning of her weight loss journey in 2023, but soon came to the conclusion that GLP-1 medication wouldn't help her in the long term. 'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full.' Lizzo then added, 'But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' When it came to the star achieving her weight loss goal, the performer explained that her change in diet was the major factor. Lizzo had been following a plant-based diet for many years - including only consuming vegan foods from 2020 through 2023. 'What did it for me is, it was not being vegan,' she told Trisha. 'Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. 'I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full. But really I was consuming 3,000-5,000 calories a day.' The songstress also talked about how some food products - even if they are small in size - can be packed with 'fake sugar' that can leave you still feeling hungry. 'So for me, when I started actually eating whole foods and eating like beef, and chicken, and fish. Like, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up.' While the star made the choice to stop taking Ozempic early on, she stated that she didn't see it as 'cheating' for those that have taken the medication to help with losing weight. 'It's not easy. It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with,' the performer expressed. 'I think their way of being fat phobic when you're telling someone they're cheating.' 'So for me, when I started actually eating whole foods and eating like beef, and chicken, and fish. Like, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up,' Lizzo added It was previously revealed back in January that Lizzo lost 16% of her body fat and reduced her body mass by 10.5. When it comes to how she feels now after dropping the weight, Lizzo explained, 'I feel like I worked really really hard and it was intentional with what I did with my body. 'So when I get compliments, I go, "Thanks b***h." Like I really receive it because I need to receive that. I don't take it any weird way because I tried to do this.' Last year, the singer had shut down allegations that she was taking Ozempic in order to achieve her slimmer figure. At the time, she shared a short Instagram reel as she posed wearing a colorful, satin robe while her hair was pulled back into a low up do. The star added text towards the bottom which read, 'When you finally get ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.' Lizzo then shared a screenshot of a comment from a social media user where they accused her of taking ozempic or 'coke.' The songstress had also been promoting pieces from her Yitty brand in a clip and wrote, 'What's is it… THE BRAIDS?! Cotton Bodysuit by @yitty.' The troll had typed in the comment section, 'did she use ozempic or did she snort coke.' In response, the Grammy winner wrote, 'whyyyy do u follow me?' followed by four crying face emojis. Lizzo then shared a screenshot of the Instagram user's account which had been set to private. Earlier this year in January, the singer proudly announced that she had achieved her weight loss goal. On Instagram at the time, she shared: 'I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. 'I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!' And in April during an episode of the On Purpose With Jay Shetty podcast, Lizzo explained how she uses the term 'weight release' instead of weight loss. She credited her boyfriend Myke Wright and explained, 'My man, he's so funny. He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, "Oh my gosh I lost five pounds" and he was like, "Where did it go?" 'I was mad at him, I was like, "Why would he say that?" but he was like, "Where did it go?"' The Good As Hell hitmaker further explained that she did not want to 'lose anything' but instead wanted to 'win.' Lizzo expressed, 'I want to be very intentional about the words that come out of my mouth because there's young people who are watching me and they're experiencing what I'm putting into the world. Also on Thursday, the star further showed off her weight loss while making an appearance at the Dodgers game in L.A. She slipped into a pair of white pumps and allowed her platinum blonde locks to flow down straight past her shoulders The Good As Hell hitmaker was seen strolling onto the baseball field to throw the ceremonial first pitch before the Dodgers took on the San Diego Padres 'They're applying it to their own experience and their own life just like I did when I was a kid.' The star then got candid about 'how the media treated people who gained and lost weight' had an effect on her 'brain chemistry. 'Be careful with your words because it can affect somebody in ways you don't even know.' The performer added, 'Even me releasing the weight has affected people and I take that seriously. I take that responsibility. And because of that I want to transmute it into something that makes people feel comfortable and less afraid of it.' During a recent appearance on The Jason Lee Show, Lizzo explained why she hasn't revealed exactly how much weight she has lost. 'If I say the number, I don't think people could do the math. I've just seen a lot of TikToks where it's like, "Lizzo talks about her 500lbs weight loss!" Why are y'all putting numbers on me? It kind of annoys me.' Also on Thursday, the star further showed off her weight loss while making an appearance at the Dodgers game in L.A. The singer sported a pair of fitted white capri pants as well as a cropped shirt that had 'Juneteenth' embroidered on the front. She slipped into a pair of white pumps and allowed her platinum blonde locks to flow down straight past her shoulders. The star flashed a big smile as she paused for a quick snap on the field Lizzo was also seen wearing a chained necklace to further glam up her ensemble for the outing Lizzo opted to add minimal accessories to the look and also sported a pair of silver shades. The Good As Hell hitmaker was seen strolling onto the baseball field to throw the ceremonial first pitch before the Dodgers took on the San Diego Padres. Before testing out her skills by throwing a pitch, the singer was spotted standing on one side of the baseball field at Dodger Stadium Lizzo also had the chance to take part in the Celebrity Softball Game at the venue to celebrate Black Heritage Night.

Body language expert makes shock claim about state of Brad Pitt's new relationship
Brad Pitt and his girlfriend made a rare appearance on the red carpet on Monday as they attended the F1 film premiere in New York City. But a body language expert was quick to spot several tell-tale signs that his relationship with Ines de Ramon is 'floundering.' The couple, who have been dating since 2022, looked effortlessly chic at the premiere with Ines draped in sheer halter-neck white gown complete with a feathered skirt and Brad opting for a black double-breasted suit with a white button-up. Brad, 61, who assumed a lead role in the film as fictional driver Sonny Hayes, and Ines, 32, put on a united display - but there could be more than meets the eye. Because, according to body language expert Judi James, there are several indicators that all is not well including how Brad's recent fashion shift could be an indication of a wider problem in his relationship, as she compared their look to George Clooney and Amal Clooney's. 'For this newest relationship, Brad seems to have opted for a George and Amal-looking vibe. 'Both dazzling-looking, elegant women are non-Hollywood and both are fiercely intelligent and successful in their own fields. 'Both men show signals of a more subdued presence with their women around as though it's the intellect that is keeping them in a state of awe and respect. 'Unlike Clooney though, Brad also has a considerable age gap difference which seems to have created some wardrobe floundering that could reflect on his emotional approach,' James told Daily Mail exclusively. On Monday, Brad Pitt , 61, and his girlfriend, jewelry executive Ines de Ramon , 32, made a rare appearance on the red carpet as they attended the F1 film premiere in New York City - and a body language expert is weighing on why the actor may actually be 'floundering' in his relationship They began seeing each other just a few years after Brad's ex-wife, Angelina Jolie , filed for divorce in 2016 Both Brad and Ines were dressed to the nines on Monday, but according to body language expert Judi James, Brad's recent fashion shift could be an indication of a wider problem in his relationship, as she compared their look to George and Amal Clooney's 'His recent outings have involved some dubious fashion choices that suggest he might be struggling with the age gap and keen to look relevant and edgy, when it might be better in relationship terms to see him finally bottoming out, finding his authentic place and relaxing into it with someone who appreciates it,' she continued. However, it's not only the age gap that is the 'problem' in their latest red carpet appearance, James explained. She noted that the couple seem to have very different styles in both thinking and taste, as they have a 'lack of synchronicity.' 'A more interesting challenge seems to be the acute contrast in Brad and Ines's body language, which could suggest very different thinking styles and tastes,' James divulged. 'This seems to have worked for the Clooney's, who share a profound passion for campaigns and causes. But with Brad right now we're just seeing a lack of synchronicity in terms of non-verbal signals,' she shared. 'He looks blissfully happy but also slightly ill at ease here.' James explained that one way that their difference in thinking emerges is in their facial expressions on the red carpet. 'One look at their facial expressions as they pose together shows totally different styles of thinking,' she shared. 'Brad's eyebrows are steepled, giving him a rather subdued and apologetic look. He appears keen to please. His posture and his gestures look unusually awkward, as though he's trying to look gauche rather than like a Hollywood hard-hitter,' James continued. 'His hand pats the side of his leg to hint at some inner anxiety and the fingers are splayed rather than relaxed.' 'A more interesting challenge seems to be the acute contrast in Brad and Ines's body language, which could suggest very different thinking styles and tastes,' James divulged 'One look at their facial expressions as they pose together shows totally different styles of thinking,' she shared On the other hand, Ines gives off a different energy than Brad. 'Ines however has a very bold-straight brow-line to suggest confidence and calm,' James said. 'Her wide smile looks red-carpet perfect and her eye-engage with the cameras shows a lack of inhibitions or shyness. She turns her smile on as she faces the cameras rather than showing it primarily to Brad.' On the red carpet, there was one specific moment that stood out to James, too - and that was when he poked out his tongue during one pose with her. 'His smile here, as he poses up for the cameras looks soft and apologetic while hers is a very assertive-looking baring of the teeth,' James said. 'When he looks at her the soft crinkling increases, suggesting genuine affection and some vulnerability, while she flashes upper and lower teeth in another teeth-baring, challenging-looking smile,' she shared. 'It's Ines looking quietly dominant as she pulls his hand to move from their pose and in another pic she is even seen wiping or picking his face with her thumb in another dominant-looking gesture.' James wondered if there was a possibility that Brad is trying to 'emulate' Clooney's relationship - or if his romance with Ines really is the perfect fit. On the red carpet, there was one specific moment that stood out to James, too - and that was when he poked out his tongue during one pose with her 'Ines however has a very bold-straight brow-line to suggest confidence and calm,' James said 'His recent outings have involved some dubious fashion choices that suggest he might be struggling with the age gap and keen to look relevant and edgy,' she said She pointed out that in past relationships, he has looked 'performative,' almost like he was playing a role in a movie. When he dated Gwyneth Paltrow, he became her 'symbiotic twin,' and with Jolie, he 'morphed into one half of a cool, classy, sophisticated Hollywood power couple.' 'Brad Pitt's current body language suggests he's still trying to find his authentic self,' James admitted. The couple's red carpet appearance comes just days after they made headlines for a star-studded double-date with Gigi Hadid and boyfriend Bradley Cooper. The four of them were seen dining at Cote Korean Steakhouse in New York City, where Petrossian Royal Beluga Hybrid caviar goes for $870 a tin. Brad stepped out in a shiny lavender silk shirt that was left partially unbuttoned to reveal some chest hair, as well as a buzz cut. In May, Brad was forced to defend his girlfriend Ines in a rare comment as some rumors swirled. In an interview with GQ for the magazine's 2025 Summer Issue — alongside F1 co-stars Damson Idris and Lewis Hamilton — Pitt was asked whether their appearance at a Formula 1 race was intentionally timed to promote the film. Since his divorce from Jolie, he has been in the headlines for some drama involving his kids In an interview with GQ for the magazine's 2025 Summer Issue — alongside F1 co-stars Damson Idris and Lewis Hamilton — Pitt was asked whether their appearance at a Formula 1 race was intentionally timed to promote the film 'No, dude, it's not that calculated,' Pitt replied bluntly. 'If you're living—oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.' He also spoke about the fact that his personal life is a part of the headlines, noting it's been part of his reality for decades. 'My personal life is always in the news. It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way.' Since his divorce from Jolie, he has been in the headlines for some drama involving his kids. He shares Zahara, 20, Maddox, 23, and Pax, 21 - whom he adopted with Jolie. The former couple also welcomed biological children Shiloh, 19, as well as twins Vivienne and Knox, 16. Following a lengthy eight-year battle, the pair's divorce was officially finalized late last year in December.

How Powerless author Lauren Roberts became a bestseller at just 22 years old
The idea for Lauren Roberts' debut novel came to her when she was just 18 years old. So she did what any teenager with access to a phone would do next: start a live stream to share her idea with BookTok. "And [my followers] were like, 'We want to read it!' Telling me to add this trope and that trope," the US writer tells ABC Arts. She spent the next three months writing Powerless, which went on to become a bestselling YA romantic fantasy (romantasy) novel, in between studying at college and working a part-time job. "I'd be up until 4am every day writing, and then I'd wake up and go to school and then [to my job] and do all of that all over again." After finishing the first draft, Roberts hired a freelance editor to help shape her manuscript, asked her mum if she could leave college and moved back home, where she Googled: "How to self-publish a book." Somehow, in 2023, she pulled it together and published her debut just after her 19th birthday. The world was very interested, as it turns out, in Roberts' protagonist Paedyn Gray, a pickpocket from the slums of Ilya considered a powerless Ordinary in a society that only serves Elites with special abilities. Until, that is, she unwittingly saves the life of Prince Malakai and is thrust into the kingdom's annual purging competition, a series of deadly trials meant to showcase the most powerful Elites and reinforce the tyrant King Edric's rule. By late 2023, Roberts had signed a deal with a traditional publisher who wanted to pick up the first instalment in her dystopian tale of romance and political intrigue. Since then, she's written four more books (the third novel in the Powerless trilogy, Fearless, came out in April) and become a New York Times bestselling author. And a TV adaptation is underway. All this by the age of 22. "I can't believe this has happened. I didn't imagine this would ever be a thing," Roberts says of her success. She says life has simultaneously changed "so much" and "not at all". She's still living in the same apartment with her cats. But she's quit her part-time job and is now writing romantasy full time. "I get up and I just write most of the day. But, aside from incredible [book] tours — when I get to meet so many people that love these books and it's like, 'Whoa, this is crazy' — it doesn't feel big. It's just me in my apartment." Roberts is still learning to navigate the pressure — and scrutiny — that have accompanied her success. Not only is she a young author new to the publishing world, who started out as a BookTok influencer, she's also faced criticism over what some readers believe are similarities between her debut and popular YA fantasy series such as Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games and Victoria Aveyard's Red Queen. Roberts has been open about this for years. "Absolutely, there are similarities to The Hunger Games … and to so many other amazing books out there," she says now. "And that's how it is because there are billions of works." Still, the Goodreads pages for her books are filled with reviews by readers arguing the Powerless series is, at best, derivative and too heavily reliant on romance and dystopian fiction tropes and, at worst, a rip-off of various fantasy novels. Roberts says this "can be a little frustrating". "But I do remind myself that, a lot of the time, they're 14-year-olds and we know how the internet is. And at the end of the day, there's inspiration from every angle, and tropes are something that are in every book. "On the internet, I don't feel the need to address it because it's simply not true." This strategy is working — for now, at least. While Roberts can't say much about the Powerless TV adaptation, she confirms, "There are things happening behind the scenes [and] we're very excited." There's also an upcoming international book tour, including Australia. "We're travelling from one side of Australia to the other, with tons of stops, and I'm really excited to answer the readers' burning questions," she says. There are more books in the works, too, including another Powerless novella titled Fearful, out in September. After that, Roberts plans to slow down the release schedule. Not only did she write Powerless in three months, she also finished the first drafts for follow-up books Reckless and Fearless in the same amount of time. Roberts wrote Powerful, the first Powerless novella, in just 28 days. "It is daunting. It's not like, 'I'll just write for two hours today and whatever.' It's definitely three months of head-down writing," Roberts says of her process up until now. "This past year, it has been go, go, go. So I'm reaching a point where I do want to space out the books a little more. Nothing crazy, but even just writing one book a year." Rebecca Yarros, another high-profile romantasy author, signalled plans to do the same in November 2023. At the same time, the publishing industry is facing increasing comparisons to fast fashion, with some readers attributing the "Sheinification of books" to what they perceive as the decreasing quality of fantasy novels. The Powerless series is frequently brought up as part of these conversations online. Roberts doesn't let the criticism get in her way, instead choosing to "focus on the positives". She says her number one goal in finishing the Powerless series is "staying true to what 18-year-old me started". Lauren Roberts will be discussing Powerless at events in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth from June 21-29.
