The aforementioned are natural causes because they happen as a result of engaging your muscle in physical activities. As earlier pointed out, prolonged stay in a fully air-conditioned room can also lead to muscle pains ( you can reference back to the earlier section of this article on how this happens). Some muscle pain related to air conditioning include;

1. Cramp: This is an intense contraction of the muscle that happens unexpectedly and lasts only for a few seconds or minutes. Other causes of cramps include; Dehydration, pregnancy, and overused muscle.

3. Spasm:This is an involuntary muscle contraction that is often accompanied by intense pain. It is mostly caused by muscle overload.

Air conditioning and Joint pain

When an air conditioner is left on for a prolonged period of time, it lowers the temperature and causes the muscles to constrict due to coldness.

This is then extended to the joint when the supple tissue surrounding it expands and as a result, weakens the joint thereby causing pain which may spread out to the muscle, making them susceptible to cramps and other forms of muscle pain.

An air conditioner is not necessarily the primary cause of joint pain, but it can exacerbate the condition and pain management more difficult.

Why does AC make my joints hurt

It is genetic knowledge that AC affects the joint and the muscles in some ways, but little is known about the actual cause.

One of the likely theories that try to explain this mystery alludes that, when the room is cold as a result of low temperature, what is the remain of heat present in the body is directed to more vital organs of the body like the inner organs of the torso and the head which leaves the joint (considered as secondary life sustenance) exposed to coldness.

And that’s why we also tend to experience more acute pain when we exercise in cold weather too.

1.Get rid of bacteria, molds, and every other allergin and find out the possible cause for their growth and address them to avoid recurrence.

2.Ensure a routine maintenance practice for your air conditioner by cleaning and changing the filter once in while.
