What Are The Symptoms Of Hypermobility?

help me, I am 14 and I have a few things I am unsure of. My doctor has not diagnosed it but has said I have Hypermobility which is likely as I am bendy. However all my joints click, crunch, grind or pop and its not without its aches. My elbows sometimes lock until I pop it then move and make quiet grinding noises. My elbows click repeatedly getting quieter with each and then grind, they also ache and I get occasional little stabs of pain. Though my right one is worse and causes me to take breaks while writing. My ankle pops also.

Dear patient
Hypermobility or laxity of joints is found in many connective tissue disorders such as 1. Marfans syndrome 2. Ehler danlos syndrome and many more. In this disorder there is laxity in whole body with increased range of motion in all joints. Marfans syndrome is associated with cardiac problems and thin fingers. Ehler danlos syndrome is also associated with eye problems. You need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon and get yourself thoroughly examined and investigated. All the best.
