How To Treat Knee Pain Due To Hypermobile Joint Syndrome?

How do I treat knee pain in both knees due to walking fast, and also an old rotator cuff injury which the MRI has shown as long arm of the bicep tendinosis? My rheumatoid specialist told me I have hypermobile joint syndrome - and that there is no cure. I am in pain in my knees and shoulders ALL the time! Please help. Priya

Hi priya
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
hypermobility syndrome is usually congenital and may run in families. being at cellular level causing loose ligaments ,it leads to stress out the muscles in the joint area that causes pain. although there is no permanent cure,and u cannot keep taking tablets all the time,best option for u will be vigorous joint muscle exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscle,that will in turn prevent the ligaments being stressed. avaoid using pain killers as far as possible as it may damage your kidneys and liver. try hot fomentation,physio.Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.
