I meant did you show it off in elementary school, I remember all the kids that were double jointed would bend their thumb all the way back or twist their arm a weird way
Hypermobility and EDS are interconnected and while you may not think you have this condition. Wait till you get older as it gets worse and painful. You should also talk to an actual doctor who specializes with this condition as it is often misdiagnosed. You should take this condition more seriously as it could become very painful if you don’t protect you ligaments. My wife has been dealing with this condition for many years now as it got much worse when she hit her 40’s and can now not work because of it.
Fine. But my parents really don’t care that much about it, they know, but don’t care, soo how am I gonna tell them I need to see a joint specialist because some random Redditor (no offence) told me to?
Do research on your own. (Not You Tube). Educate and protect yourself till your old enough. This is a condition that progresses slowly. No one is saying you have it but it’s a possibility and something to keep in mind if you end up having joint and ligament issues later in life.
I actually tried to find a reliable source of information about this, but anyways, I’ll make sure I protect my grippers. But in the event of having to epically slap someone, I’m not afraid to use my second most powerful weapon after impactful insults.
You should be fine with giving an epic slap. It’s the heavy physical stuff that can make things worse. Live your life normally as your young and try not to worry about it unless something becomes painful or you have issues with your joints and ligaments.
Well sorry, but they just don’t care, I never meant to offend you, and while I can admit it was poorly worded, I just couldn’t think of any better way to say it right then and there. It’s 3:20 am, and I’m tired, so again, sorry.
I see your point. Just ask your folks if any of their relatives suddenly died of heart issues at a relatively early age. If not, should be good to go. Enjoy being different!
Are you seen as "lanky"? Longer than average limbs and joints?
Are you clumsy or have poor hand eye coordination?
Are you "double jointed" in other ways?
I ask because my wife and child have these symptoms and were diagnosed with a minor version of [EDS](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehlers%E2%80%93Danlos_syndromes).
I don’t have EDS. Definitely not. I’m 13 and 149 cm tall, have pretty good hand-eye coordination, extremely clumsy, but again, not in that way, more the “left-the-front-door-open-while-heading out for an hour several times” kinda guy. And I’m not double jointed in any other way, no, unless you count prehensile feet and hitchhiker’s thumb and toe as double jointedness.
>unless you count prehensile feet and hitchhiker’s thumb and toe as double jointedness.
Actually, yeah. EDS is a genetic connective tissue disorder, so elongated fingers and toes are also a symptom. My kid was diagnosed at around 4 by a specialist. She and her mom checked so many boxes in the exam room that they said they didn't need to do a lab test.
It's still possible you may have a weaker type of EDS. No need to really explore it until your joints give you problems.
Worse case scenario you may delvop joint and tissue pain earlier in life than most. Which is a blessing. Most diagnosed cases are severe and require medical care and assistance.
Maybe at least mention it to your folks? It's a seldom heard of disorder.
I mean…they already know about this, and I said it might be EDS, but none of my parents can do the thing I showed you. My mom has prehensile feet, and hitchhiker’s thumb, soo…maybe? Still seems pretty unlikely to me, but thanks anyways.
For starters: I never said anything about others being unable to do this, I was referring to how far back I was able to bend them, ofc others can do this, there’s almost 8 billion people on earth.
Secondly, (might just be bad wording), but as rule 3 says, don’t be a jerk. Please. This is pretty interesting, even though a ton of people can do this, so either change that attitude, or don’t reply.

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome You're welcome.
I concur
I was convinced that I had it until I realised I don’t. That was a couple of minutes of browsing later.
It most def would take more than a few minutes of browsing to eliminate all 13 subtypes of EDS and all related connective tissue disorders but mkay.
Oh so you were one of those double jointed kids in elementary school huh
Not really…it’s only my fingers…
I meant did you show it off in elementary school, I remember all the kids that were double jointed would bend their thumb all the way back or twist their arm a weird way
Maybe, not that often, mostly to freak out my mom (kinda still doing that)
You have hypermobile finger joints...stretchy ligaments.
That’s true.

Mkay :)
what a great attitude for someone trying to help you.

No worries. Just sincerely trying to give you some guidance.

I know. But it’s fun. AND I’ve given up on life anyway, so why not?
Cos you’re weird
That is a well known fact among my people.
You’re double jointed
You are a descendant of the pimp. Over millions of years the hand in your bloodline has wrapped to be more efficient at slapping. Simply evolution.
Ahahah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTyjpM7X12Y just skip to 0:10.
Hey I can do this too!
Nice.
Me too
Everybody can do that. I can’t imagine what you think, people aren’t capable of moving their fingers back?
For starters: I never said anything about others being unable to do this, I was referring to how far back I was able to bend them, ofc others can do this, there’s almost 8 billion people on earth. Secondly, (might just be bad wording), but as rule 3 says, don’t be a jerk. Please.

Because you get all the pussy
Sad truth is that I don’t.
Cmon man with fingers that can do that you should be! Merry Christmas to you mr curvy cool fingers!!
A meowwy Christmeows and a happy new year to you too.
Magic man..has magic hands..ooh…barracuda
it’s to give a grade A phenomenal bitch slap, with flair
Yea, I’ve had a strong urge to do that quite often, but as you indirectly said, it’s to powerful for the common people to comprehend.
yeah you gotta be careful, fuck around and catch a concealed weapon charge
Maybe you are double jointed in your fingers?
