Hi Heather,

Well, I don’t have too much of a problem with joints cracking - mostly it’s
just my toes! Sometimes it feels like my hips don’t fit quite right, if I’m
doing some sort of exercise. But it doesn’t usually hurt. I’m sorry it does
for you. Do you have Ehlers-Danlos?

I’m from Argentina, I dont really know if I’ve have Hypermobility or not, I dont pass the test but almost! I mean I almost can touch my forearm with my tumb, and I can walk like Chaplin, the worst thing ALL my joints cracks all the time. Sometimes it hurts the hand a little bit

in the (nice) picture your finger is still overstreched
the splint doesn’t seem to work
You should ask someone to adapt the splint and have it more flexed
This can be done with a headgun

good luck
David

hi… i have an injury and i went to my docotor and they said that my whole body has loose ligaments and i feel like i am the only person that has it in my school and i feel like people look at me differently like i am a weirdo or something. I am very flexible and i can do most things that other people can’t do…i can touch my thumb to my forearm i can put both my legs over my head in a pretzle. I just don’t think that that is normal…please help

Hi Corie,

You know, I think just about everyone has something about themselves that’s “not normal”, whether it’s something obvious or not. I know kids in school can be insensitive or mean (I hated middle school because it seemed like everyone was always picking on other people), but in the case of having loose ligaments, I suspect it’s something that you’re a lot more aware of than anyone else is. That is, unless you sit like a pretzel every day in class.

hey… I’m a musician and i have have really loose wrists. they pop in and out of place dozens of times each day. This only started happening after I started practicing piano, drums and mallets really heavily. There’s no pain involved, but I’m worried about Arthritis and other long term effects of this condition because I plan on majoring in music in college. My wrist joints also crack a lot, but right now lots of practicing and use of the muslces around the affected area seems to stablilize the joint slightly, but it still moves in and out of place effortlessly. any advice? thanks

Hi there,
I was just doing a search on ‘loose’ ligiments and found your page. I have been suffering for the last year and a half (since my first child was born) from intense siatic pain (I take major pain killers each night just to try and sleep through the night). I finally had an MRI done, and just before getting my results I was having intense pain in my hands for weeks (I had experienced the pain before but never for that length of time). I was worried it would be arthritis. When I went to get my results from the MRI, I was told I had two herniated discs and unstable spine due to ligament issues. He then examined my hands and confirmed the ‘loose ligament’ diagnoses.
If any of you know of treatments that have helped you to lessen the pain I would love to know what works for you.

Thanks!
