While pain in the immediate postoperative period is most likely dominated by incisional and soft tissue injuries, as time progresses barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity impact patient pain levels. Winter can make recovering from any injury a little bit harder, and surgery is no exception. Winter means your metabolism and healing ability slow down, and your blood can also move slower in cold weather. Cold therapy, or cryotherapy, is usually used in the acute stage of a soft tissue injury.
