so i went to a rheumatologist today and found out i have hypermobile joints. and all of the hypermobile joints are pain hotspots: shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles (so technically only a 4/9 on the beighton scale but i guess that's why it's just a screening tool). she's also strongly considering myofascial pain syndrome. hypermobility apparently also explains me being ✨ generally fucking clumsy to a really notable degree ✨
it's pretty much just "the hypermobility is probably what's causing my pain, fatigue, etc." which makes a lot of sense but is also interesting because in MY mind with my zero knowledge of how hypermobility can look i was 100% sure that i just. didn't fucking have hypermobile joints. oops.
now i'm just kinda like
Tumblr media
aside from letting my PT know that this came up and like. figuring out where to go from here. still getting blood work to rule out other stuff.
right now all i know is that i have some form of symptomatic hypermobility that's making my joints go "yikes" but we still have more testing to do on the autoimmune end. and also x-rays. i am so fucking tired.
