Could I have it?
Hello! I’m new to Reddit so I’m not sure about formalities and whatnot, but I have been thinking for a while now I might have some form of hypermobility disorder and wanted to ask the general public their opinion if I should get tested—based on their experiences.
So I am insanely double jointed in all the normal places you would be and more on the beighton score, but I assumed I was just flexible. When I was a kid I had many growth pains, especially in my ankle, and caused me to have a limp for a year. I also roll my ankles easily, even if I’m just standing. I have ADHD and IBS, if that matters, and poor proprioception. As a kid my joints never really hurt but now (19F) after doing five years of marching band (percussion) I’ve noticed that all my joints would hurt after any strength training and that I need to constantly pop them or I would feel stiff or pain. Also, if I accidentally discover a new joint I can pop, the longer it pops the easier it can get loose. Example: I recently found I can pop my shoulder but have also noticed I’m very close to subxulation sometimes. I can also pop my jaw! Could it be HSD?
