Hyper mobility syndrome.

[Badbessie]

Hi, My wife as been diagnosed with Psa, fibromyalgia and last year the physiotherapist noticed that a number of her joints extended past the normal degrees of flexion. Her rheumatologist confirmed this and diagnosed HMS. As she as got older her joints and it would appear she as HMS in all of them have become increasing painful. The physiotherapist used tape as a method to remind her how far the joints should move etc. As anyone out there suffered from this and what helped them?.

Hi! I'm not sure what Psa is, but I do have hypermobility (EDS) arthritis and Fibro.

The thing that helps me most is pacing, physio, pain clinic, swimming and medication.

My mobility is badly affected and use walking sticks, mobility scooter and splints

The hypermobility is just a symptom of the faulty collagen in the body and can give lots of other problems as well

The other thing that I found very helpful was the HSSA website hypermobility.org/

And the EDS support group.

There is support out there if she needs it!

Hope she finds some relief

Take care
