Cases of Hypermobility

There are some cases of hypermobility, such as parallel joints and abnormal shaped ends of the bones in certain joints. However, as in my case, it was when the collagen in damaged joints and produce weakened ligaments, muscles and tendons. It can even lead to osteoporosis.

It has also been demonstrated that the condition may be genetic and can run in families. Double jointed used to describe people with the condition, but this is not accurate; there is no additional joints anywhere only their tendency to stretch more than they should.

In real terms, this means that a person susceptible to strains and sprains as joint stretched too far and cause this problem and called 'joint hypermobility syndrome'. So where someone might slip and fine, a person with hypermobility can slip and end up with a sprain, which can be very painful. Repetitive motion can also cause problems, such as taking the bag in a certain way repeatedly that strains the joints and cause pain.

People with hypermobility may also suffer from muscle fatigue because muscles work harder because of the weakness of the joints. It can also be associated with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia as well as physical symptoms. There are also studies that show that hypermobility may be symptoms of serious conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteogenesis imperfecta and polio.
Hypermobility syndrome is a combination of hypermobility with symptoms such as myalgia (muscle pain), and arthralgia (joint pain). This often occurs in children and is more likely to occur in women than in men.

As hypermobility, can cause sprains and strains and joint pain. This can lead to osteoarthritis early years of adolescence and knee pain and back pain. Joints often makes clicking sound when moving and people who suffer discover they have a poor response to anesthesia or painkillers. This can often be a condition described as 'growing pains' in children.

Keeping the phone is very important for all aspects of hypermobility to try and prevent reoccurring injuries. Exercise and physical or hydrotherapy can help improve muscle strength in order to avoid injury as well as low-impact exercises such as Pilates. High-impact sports such as jogging are not recommended because it can jar the joints and cause injury.

Good hot packs to reduce pain in the joints and ice packs can work for swelling associated with injury, especially. Medications are given to reduce pain and inflammation although some anti-inflammatory drugs can actually make the condition worse.

Finally, lifestyle changes can help manage conditions such as sitting instead of standing for a long time and use a kickboard when swimming to avoid hyperextending joints.

Conclusion
Hypermobility is not a condition that can be 'fixed' but can be managed with a combination of exercise and lifestyle management. If someone in the family has the condition, watching the children because it can get out in it and previously diagnosed, the easier it is to learn to manage it. I was 33 before I was diagnosed and have a curve in my spine because of it. Has it been diagnosed when I was young, maybe this might not have been as bad. So be alert and aware.
