As a Hypermobility person myself, when doing dancing,walking,running,cycling hurts me but in the video it said frequent injuries can cause it thats true but yeah also uh im compacted alot, 3 quarters of your stomach is your hypermobility. Plus it can hurt in your hips aswell. We don’t have all or the same ability, some people can finger lock some people cant but they can twist their hands. A “cure” is just wait till you get older your joints get stronger from milk and food so hope this clarifies what hypermobility.

[@ahlamamr4659]

Can it happen in certain areas only and with a certain range? And how do I know it’s serious and need a doctor? I think my sister has it but I think it benefitial till now.

[@tashfarrelll]

Im watching this to help my bf when he struggles he usually struggles to cut things like meat because its too hard on his fingers.

[@anishasingh9378]

Hi , Can you suggest some physical therapy for hypermobile syndrome .

[@taranicole1669]

I actually think it can get worse as you age for some people. In " some" people this can be a serious medical issue that can lead to a range of other medical illnesses.

[@littlehomeforest5972]

Buts it's worse for women after giving birth I would say. Milk and cheese doesn't help.

[@CheezhOfficial]

Bro everything hurts every single day because of this for the last 7 years. And it's getting worse and worse with the day.

[@sandiamelonification]

Hey there, I feel you. It's been getting worse lately. The one thing that helps is to make sure you're building muscle to contain your joints. Ask your traumatologist for help, ask them to let you know which muscle groups you need to work on so a personal trainer can help you work on those muscles. It really sucks, I know, I'm in pain every single day, but you're not alone. Hang in there. Try to help your body.

[@redragna3648]

I keep mine in check with a healthy diet (high in omega 3s, no alcohol/caffeine, lots of fruits and veggies), very light exercises 5-6 times per week (physio exercises, brisk walks light biking, swimming), life style changes that strain my joints as little as possible (ergonomic computer posture, lots of breaks from sitting, working on keeping a proper posutre in my day to day activities), lots of water and plenty of sleep. It keeps it at bay and my pain is relatively minimal (I use to be in pain all day long).

[@ufo1195]

oof :(

[@subtostevyum2340]

It doesn't hurt me i can put my foot around my neck

I just got diagnosed today I'm 19 and have had pain my entire life that is progressively getting worse the doctor really didn't seem to care too much and told me you'll have to live with it there's nothing you can do I can barely walk some days I'm 19 I thought I had my entire life ahead of me and now I just feel defeated I don't know what to do

I can dislocate my shoulders and when bending down I can touch my elbows to the floor, and when on the floor I can stretch my legs past my head. I constantly get injuries and always in pain and have early onset osteoarthritis throughout my body and stomach issues, scoliosis etc. Only just got diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome

[@brotheraracon3646]

My great grandfather, and my grand mother where hyperflexible and my father is very gaunt, right now I got the perfect storm of Freakshow and am hyperflexible in every joint I have a reputation around my friends of freaking people out when I stretch, one morning I was stretching in the cafeteria and one kid yelled "Ayo, VECNA GOT HIM" ALSO I am love holloween and I can run at people with my arms and legs bent to high hell it is great

[@MedicalCentric]

Glad you're getting along with it well.

[@michaelahutto6795]

I have a very flexible right knee, but it often causes my knee to randomly dislocate when walking, dancing, running, etc. it’s extremely painful 🥲🥲

[@Eli-fd1sr]

My grandmother and mother both have hypermobility. My grandma can still do splits at her age which is cool. I can touch back of my wrist with my thumb, but only with non-dominant hand. I saw the treatment part in the title and was like yay! But found out there is no cure. I always have to crack my arm into place after putting down my backpack since joints in my arm dislocate easily. I'm use to it, but I dislocated my shoulder last week and still hurts. Edit: made a typo, 'was' intead of 'saw'

[@missyemerald]

... Wow, Your Grandma!!! That is aWesoMe. I obv's have no idea how old you are... & I came here looking for cause, As I've recently been Dx'd with scoliosis! 😳 I am 44yrs old. My point is, Please be careful with your body, It needs to support you your entire existence. I too "crack" everywhere, It's something I 'feel' I NEED to do, & have done it all my life. I was a gymnast all of my childhood & then went on to coach. They tell me my scoliosis is "idiopathic" but I think the cause might be "hyper-mobility" Please be kind to your body, As these things cause major issues for you as you age 🤍

[@dylansmillie7397]

Keep in mind he said thumb touching the BACK of your wrist. If you’re pushing your thumb down to touch the front of your wrist that’s normal. If you can do it either way, that’s hypermobile

Hyper mobility has kinda destroyed my body. It affects every single one of my joints, and as a dancer/acrobat yes it is helpful but since i use it a lot, its been really bad for me. I get hurt so often, and have knees that go way back, so walking is so painful, i have a terrible back, and i have dislocated my knees so many times It sucks

[@Heffey02]

Is it difficult to get them back in place? I’ve dislocated my shoulders many times and just had surgery for torn ligaments and labrum. I have to adjust my knees sometimes or I can’t walk on them properly. Hoping they don’t get like my shoulders are/were.

Mine too ! nothing they said here is helping me - you need very specialized physical therapy( by someone who tests such patients ) else you are goin to end up in more pain than before. You should only do isometric exercises for strengthening and no gym or dance - I was a dancer too

[@firebeatle6394]

You can’t cure it it’s literally how you move your joints

[@Eki_________]

But you can strengthen the muscles around the joint to stabilise it and prevent from moving too much. Not the same as curing I know, but can reduce pain :)

Gets called "benign" meanwhile I'm in a wheelchair at 20, can't manage without 3 naps a day and my head is crushin my cervical spine

[@MedicalCentric]

I understand that hypermobility can affect individuals in various ways, and its impact can be far from "benign" for some. It's essential to recognize that hypermobility can be a spectrum, and while some individuals may experience relatively mild symptoms, others can face more severe and life-altering challenges. Your experience is valid, and the physical and emotional toll it takes should not be underestimated. It's crucial to work closely with healthcare providers who can help manage your specific symptoms and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. You are not alone in facing the complexities of hypermobility, and finding the right support and care can be a critical step toward improving your quality of life.

Left knee dislocates so often that it hardly hurts anymore. I stopped stretching my legs, and the dislocations have lessened a lot. But i feel the need to stretch, which is kind of annoying. I wish i could skate or ski again 🫤

[@MedicalCentric]

Dealing with hypermobility, particularly in the left knee, can be challenging. While avoiding certain activities may help reduce dislocations and discomfort, the desire to engage in activities like skating or skiing can be frustrating. It's essential to strike a balance between maintaining joint stability and participating in activities you enjoy. Consider consulting with a healthcare professional, such as a physical therapist, who can provide guidance on specific exercises and modifications to help manage hypermobility and maintain joint health. Customized strategies may enable you to pursue your interests with minimal risk of dislocation.
