I read that the cold of winter causes our body to slow blood circulation to the hands and feet to preserve our body's core temperature. In chilly weather, our tissues also contract and pull on our nerve endings, causing joint pain. I thought that I was 90% recovered from my torn meniscus as I have been walking without a limp, and experience only mild stiffness in my knees after sitting down for long hours at work. However, during my recent vacation to Europe, I experienced difficulty walking after covering long distances, including navigating long flight of stairs. My feet, ankles and knees hurt much more than in S'pore where I drive and use escalators and elevators at most public places. The tropical climate is also a major factor. Has anyone experienced this?
