    Yes, my mother has this and this constantly happens. I also had it a few times. Not a good time.

    Doctors don’t know this syndrome often, how do you know it if I may ask?

      I have it, the hypermobile type (hEDS)

      Upside: reduced likelihood of osteoarthritis

      Downside: all the pain, doctors think you’re crazy

        Thank you for sharing. I think I might have some symptoms, but definitely not all. The knees though :x

        Do you manage without pain meds? My mom cannot unfortunately.
