I wonder if specializing your research by type or site of injury would yield different result?
I'd love to volunteer if you do further studies.
I never believed in the weather thing until nine years ago when I suffered a lumbar injury in a car accident that resulted in scar tissue in and around my spinal cord and sciatic nerves.
I now have TERRIBLE pain everyday, all day. Both in my back and terrible neuropathy down either leg and in my groin. I lose strength and feeling and kinesthetic awareness of my feet and legs. I fall often. I have constant ghostly sensations of touch or stabs or crushing or fire or cold. I drag my right foot. It also happens in my genitals and I have various bladder neuropathy. Pain wakes me suddenly most nights and once I manage to sleep I dream of being burned or bitten or stabbed in my lower half.
I can only sit up for, at most, twoish hours before having to get flat. Excessive movement saws scar tissue at my nerves and a busy morning can lead to two days flat on my back without sleep and with tears in my eyes.
The weather ABSOLUTELY affects me and I've tracked it myself. I find humidity and low pressure and large swings in pressure are triggers, but also RAIN. Rain, especially storms, are horrible for me now so I'm extremely surprised that your research doesn't bear that out. We play a game here where I guess the weather when I wake in the morning, before opening the curtains or asking Alexa for the forecast. I also place bets against Alexa's forecast and would be rich by now if she'd only pay up.
I have just this month had one spinal stimulator for pain replaced with another company's more modern and capable model. It's helping a bit but still not as much as I had hoped. I rely on narcotics to take enough of an edge off to get up and attempt being productive. I'm mostly housebound except for short trips and some days I am bed or couch -bound.
I DREAD rain.
So, to repeat, I wonder if specializing your research by injury type or site would yield different results? I haven't read beyond your posted verbiage here, so apologize if you've mentioned this in the click-thru.
