10 Symptoms of Marfan Syndrome
Symptom #4: Abnormal Joint Flexibility
Abnormal joint flexibility or hypermobility of the joint describes the ability of some individuals who have joints that can stretch further than normal. For example, some may be able to bend their thumbs backwards to touch their wrists while some can put their leg behind their head, and more. Hypermobility can affect more than one joint in the body.
It affects about 10 to 25% of the population. Conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Marfan syndrome can lead to joint hypermobility syndrome that causes hypermobility of joints, joint pain, instability, dislocation, swelling, and back pain.
