Cold water makes my muscles tense up and puts me in more pain. Cold air makes me have problems with my thermostat. I cannot tolerate cold weather because it stiffens me up completely and makes me worse. I have to use heat to relieve my symptoms. And my house is kept between 75 and 77° at all times due to my condition which is also yours. Hope I helped. Thank you. Amanda.

I too have had trouble with the cold. I try to keep as warm as possible. I used to have a chiropractor that wanted to put ice on my back. Would not let him, I could not tolerate it. I do have arthritis bin my knees and I can tolerate ice there. Never on my back.

I think cold weather is increasing my pain and inflammation. I'm considering moving to a warmer climate. I get burning in my legs quite often-very uncomfortable.
