Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi, to begin with i have had back pain that has got much worse from october last year and have been diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome which causes me chronic back pain the worst thing is i look fine to everyone and can do anything still as i can move too easily im not hobbling around like most people associate with back pain and this leaves me really upset as signed off work and i know how people judge but when something aggravates it (like sitting/ hovering etc for short amount of time) its incredibly painful deep deep within my lower back and this can set off a whole day of pain and rarely a time im not in pain or taking pain killers - for sometime now i have been getting really tenderness in both my breasts on the sides and especially when i lie down and overnight & esp in morning &when i get up it gets better throughout day and then when led down again they get more and more tender and sore during the night to be fair it only hurts to nudge them in the day as gets better one been up and about but after sleeping/lieing down will be v.sore. i have been to breast clinic and they dont think anything to worry about in relation to cancer but this does not resolve the issue it has been going on for too long for it to be from pregnancy. i have seen people mention FMS and it makes me think i have major back problems , my knees often hurt and had breast pain for some time (i know i have hypermobility syndrombe but looks like they could be connected i dont know with other areas of pain im feeling rather distressed and upset. many thanks for any advice
Your query does not make it clear on how was the diagnosis of Hypermobility syndrome made.The condition of Hypermobility syndrome would generally make you more prone to injuries rather than having generalised pain and tenderness therefore it would be more pertinent to have yourself examined by a Rheumatologist who would examine and prescribe you certain tests to confirm the diagnosis as well as rule out any other connective tissue disorders.Regarding the Functional Movement screening(FMS) in your case can be done after the confirmation of your condition by the Rheumatologist , I would suggest a proper strength and conditioning program with least emphasis on flexibility to build up your muscles and contribute to overall joint stability.
