When the barometric pressure is 29.8 in Hg, then symptoms begin to occur with the joints first and also headaches, when the pressure gets to 29.74 or less, then the right hip socket (deep pain that is a dull ache) begins to appear and when the pressure is 29.65 or less, then "hell breaks loose" (pardon the language). I went to my pain management specialist one day and I left the house at 8:30 am, by the time I actually saw the doctor about 2.5hours had passed and when i saw him I said the barometric pressure sure has dropped quickly and dramatically. He asked how I knew and I told him that when I left I was fine and now my hips were hurting, neck was stiff and knees stiff and have a headache. So he had his PC in front of him and unbeknown to me he went to a weather site and said you are right; the pressure at 8:30 am was around 29.99 and at that moment it was 29.67 and falling at around 11:15am; a low pressure system was coming in quickly. He was impressed; I was miserable since I was there for my 14th ESI in the lumbar and my body was already aching all over.
