On one hand, hypermobility can mean graceful flexibility, impressive yoga poses, or “party trick” joints. On the other, it may bring chronic pain, repeated sprains, fatigue, GI issues, headaches, and a nervous system that never seems to fully relax. Many patients spend years being told their symptoms are “anxiety,” “just growing pains,” or “normal” test results, without anyone naming what’s really going on.
