Re:Joint Hypermobility

[Guest guest]

I have this too. Sometime like when I get up from bed and push up with my arm,

it feels like my elbow will dislocate so I try to be careful. Same thing with my

hips and knees if I move too sudden and I have the snap crackle pop you descibe

too. Anyone else?

I remember growing up with my little sister whose legs also went

backwards when she stood straight.

Kids would make fun in 7th and 8th grade.

She would then take her arm and twist it around, or her Thumb would

twist in almost a complete circle to try aand get a few laughs, or

bend her thunb back to her arm, and say, I'll bet you can't do that!!!

I'm 55 now, shes 52, and been diagnosed with Ehlers-Dahnlos Syndrome,

so I do believe the Fibromyalgia, and EHDS do cross lines and have

similar symtoms, but try talking to a so-called Doctor about that!!.

They told my daughter when she was real little that she had joint

hypermobility. Of course the first doctor who said anything called

it " loose joints. " She is still prone to dislocation of her kneecaps

and may end up having surgury with it. She may now be showing signs of

fibro. I am praying not but she is done growing so even " gowing pains "

are not possible. I guess we just see what happens.
