Hi,
Is there anyone here with joint hypermobility syndrome or EhlersDanlos-Hypermobility type?
I have always been extremely flexible (and was a gymnast when young). I have recently started with a new PT for my lumbar and now cervical problems, and she identified that I meet all the criteria for hypermobile joints (I score 9/9 on the Beighton scale, and can still place my hands flat on the floor despite a lumbosacral fusion). Upon reading further, I also have the other criteria for hypermobility syndrome: spondylolisthesis (x2), hernias (x2), susceptible to tendonitis, plantar fasciitis in both feet, thin skin, bruise easily, nearsighted, early-onset arthritis (I am 42). Scoliosis is a common finding also.
Are there any other individuals here with hypermobility? If so, how were you diagnosed?
