Joint Hypermobility

I've been reading up on joint hypermobility. The orthopedic surgeon said I had hypermobile joints, and back when I was a teen, I was diagnosed with it as well (but was told - don't worry, you'll grow out of it).

Here are the list of injuries I've had that potentially could be from joint hypermobility:
Neck and back disc issues at a young age
Knee chondromalacia
TMJ
Flat feet
Hip labrum tears
Vasovagal syndrome (autonomic nervous system control issues)

There are some simple tests to see if you are hypermobile (I can do most of these, except for the bending at the waist but that's mostly from my back issues):

There's genetic disorder for joint hypermobility - Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - which can come in several different forms, as well.  Just because you are hypermobile doesn't necessarily mean you have EDS, as well.

I'm not really sure what to do with this information at this point.   There really isn't any "treatment" and it's mostly managed by lifestyle changes...and  I have basically figured out what works and what doesn't via trial and error (well, I think I do, at least!).

It is interesting to know that all my injuries might be linked, and that I'm not just some sort of massive klutz.

  1. I never knew that overly flexible joints could be a bad thing! I have know people who could do those things. I'm glad you're starting to figure out what might be wrong with you, but BIG BUMMER that most of the lifestyle changes really affect you. :(
