The winter season is upon us! While this time of the year witnesses many celebrations and is generally characterised by the holiday cheer, it can also exacerbate certain health conditions like joint pain. Experiencing pain and discomfort in the bones and joints is common during winters, especially for those suffering from arthritis.

“The cold weather during the winter is to be blamed for this extreme pain in your joints. It can cause stiffness in the joints making it difficult to move around freely. People can experience pain and discomfort in various areas such as knees, elbows or wrists,” informs Dr Girish Bhalerao, Super Specialty Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Wockhardt Hospital Mira Road.
