According to studies people living in hot climates are sometimes more prone to kidney stones because they may become dehydrated more easily. Dehydration concentrates the minerals (and other chemicals) in the urine and makes crystal formation easier.

Some of doctors recommend heat and/or cold treatments to reduce rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. Cold compresses reduce joint swelling and inflammation. You can apply a cool compress or ice pack to the affected joint during an RA flare-up to help ease inflammation and pain. Tried it and helps a lot!
