What Is Ehlers Danlos?
4. Hypermobility
You might know somebody that is ‘double jointed’. These are people that have joints that are more flexible than other peoples. This means they can bend their joints to degrees which we cannot possibly manage. This is known as hypermobility, and it is a typical symptom of Ehlers Danlos syndrome.
Only a few people with hypermobility will have Ehlers Danlos syndrome. The symptom can also range in severity from person to person, and depending on the type of Ehlers Danlos they have. In some cases, the condition causes no real problem. For others, it makes the patient more prone to potentially serious injuries.
