Arthritis, muscular stiffness, vitamin D insufficiency, nerve issues, or chronic joint inflammation may be the cause of persistent discomfort in the feet, waist/back, and ribs that gets worse in cold weather. Joints and muscles may feel more uncomfortable and constricted in cold weather. Maintain proper posture, eat foods high in calcium and vitamin D, try to keep your body warm, and engage in regular mild exercise and gentle stretching. Stiffness may also be lessened with a warm compress. It is crucial to see a rheumatologist or orthopaedic physician for a thorough examination and tests to determine the precise reason and course of treatment because the pain has been there for many years.
