Do you have a "weather leg"
Or any other predicting body part?

My legs and hip joints ache right before a significant weather change. Sometimes I get headachey before a storm.

2. I used to have a "sleet shoulder."
Back in the late 80s, my left shoulder would give me hell about 48 hours before sleet or freezing rain would occur. It never predicted snow, though. Fortunately, I have a friend of Cherokee ancestry who can smell snow coming.

3. My SO
injured his arm a few years ago and never got it checked by a doctor or anything. now whenever the weather is about to change his arm hurts. He says sometimes it's so bad he can't lift heavy objects.

4. Yes, just recently I noticed it.
My hip and knee start to hurt right before it starts to rain or storm.

I always thought it was an old wives' tale until it happened to me! I guess I am getting old!

Does anyone have a scientific explaination for this?

5. Knee for me.
Throbbing pain and then my hip starts acting up. *sigh* Did I mention that I've had this since I was 13 years old. (12 yrs ago) .... I can only imagine what wonderful prediction ability I'll have by the time I reach my 40's-50's...

I think that's what they are. Had a doozy yesterday.

9. My orthopedic dr said it was changes in barometric pressure
I have osteoarthritis in the knee, and the pressure changes give me a fit.
