Guest guest Posted July 14, 2000 Report Share Posted July 14, 2000 Astrid: here. I too am very mobile and have popped my hip and arms out of socket. I was told I may have a hyperextensive syndrome also. I know it sounds funny but at any given time without stretching I can reach down and completely put my palms on the floor with knees straight. Was playing racquetball in college and did backhand and my whole arm came out of the socket. Boy that one hurt. Rheumatologist did some movement tests on me and said I was extremely limber. There are connective tissue diseases that involve things like this I believe. I ran into a lady whose daughter has a very difficult time with things like this. Can't remember the name of what she had and it was very rare and the child was only 6 or 7 but I do remember hyperextension was in the diagnosis. It rang a bell when you said this with me and wanted to let you know I experience it too. I have been diagnosed with some type of connective tissue disease (they don't know what) but maybe that has something to do with it now that I come to think of it. Jusr wanted to let you know there is another person popping out of joint here too and you are not alone. Hopefully I'll find the time to sit down and try to research some on the net. Don't let docs make you feel like a hypochondriac. Would like them to try to live through a week in our bodies and I bet they would have a whole different perspective on this huh. Hope your heading into a good weekend!
