You hit that one right on the head! I'm down here in Fl. and this year we were either with air condition or heat, not many days without either. I think the entire country has had a strange year(oh, that global warming) weather wise. I'm not an air conditioning person but down here you can not live without it, I just try to have the vents blowing away from.I guess we are all in the same boat, no matter where we live.

The only good thing I can say about the hot weather is that it is keeping our pool water warm and I can do my PT in comfort...other than that I can't stand the humidity!

gabbycakes,
question..........you said you have alot of titanium in your arm & it swells & hurts more in the heat. I have alot of titanium in my back from L2 down thru S1. And it seems my muscles on the sides of my back hurt alot more during the summer.

My question: What about the titanium during hot spells causes it to make your arm swell? Especially when the heat is on............like it is every day here since right after the 4th of July. It has been brutal here.

Pacugirl, yes, yes and yes, this humidity has me totally lethargic. I have been taking extra vitamins and eating foods, mainly raw fruits and veggies that I know increase your energy. I am barely taking any pain meds and just dealing with the pain, to hopefully regain some energy. This is worse than the winter for me. I am sure this will pass, just hang in there you are not alone.

Hi Debby,

the titanuim is in my arm and elbow a very tight area so when the arm swells and tissue around the titanium gets very tight, stiff and pain. Why this happens I really don't no the scientific reason but I'm sure it's a combo of the pressure in the area and the titanium doesn't move around looking for room as I'm sure you no due to your back..

I hope I answered you question or at least helped.
