My previous post was about all the symptoms I've had to this date and asking advice on Elhers Danlos syndrome. Despite being diagnosed as having hypermobility (just that, not EDS Type 3) I'm not really bendy. My elbow and knees bend the wrong way but only very slightly and I can only bend my hands back to a 90 degree angle. Everywhere else though I'm really stiff and I've only just noticed that I can't do the rock and roll horns or I Love You in sign language or whatever you call it. 🤘🏻 but with the thumb out. The middle fingers won't touch my palm and the index and pinkie aren't straight plus it feels like I'm pulling a tendon or something from my knuckles to my wrists. So is that common?
