Dislocate your thumb12/17/2022 ![]() ![]() I'm also double jointed in my shoulders, and I can twist my tongue all the way around. I am double jointed in my ankles, toes, my fingers (I can bend the top of my fingers in without touching them), my jaw, a little in both elbows and knees, thumbs (I can bend the top of my thumb outwards and bring the base of my thumb into my hand at the same time). My Dad has fibromyalgia and arthritis which are both caused by being double-jointed. I'm double-jointed in my fingers, thumbs, toes and very slightly in my elbows. I am sometimes afraid because my sister said that later on my fingers might be deformed. I don't know if this is because I'm double joint or what, but when I was younger, I would feel like the joints of my leg are somehow dislocated and when I try to get up, it really hurts if I'm in sitting position or getting down, as if I were on my knees and then sitting down on them. When I walk sometimes, it jolts backward like out of nowhere. For exampled, when I'm bending it backward, it could go back a lot and if I straighten it, curving it up like you're looking at a ring, and then put it back to a relaxed hand position, there's that sound. Any clues?īasically, I think I'm like double jointed on the left side of my body. This takes several hours to subside even when my fingers are immobilized. Today, all of the fingers on that hand are out of joint, as well as the thumb now on the left. One week ago, I started waking up with my right thumb out of joint. I was never able to do the contortionist acts with my fingers or thumbs they were normal. People always called it double-jointed, but my doctor said there was no such thing. I've always been able to put my feet behind my head and still can. Is it possible to not be double jointed if you don't stretch or anything!

Maybe start there where you can hear from the others who live with it. Many members of my family have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. If you suspect you have it, Join some of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome support groups. Look up "Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome" and read about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Hyper-Mobility type. The proper name is hyper flexible or hyper mobile. There is actually no such "medical condition" by the name "double jojnted". It's weird! I've heard there are a lot of problems this can make later in life. I can even bend at my hips and reach my toes, without bending my legs. I'm almost 30 years old and I haven't worked out much in my life, so I don't know if its something you can become. The only problem I've found is I had to stop playing the flute. I didn't know what it was called until today. I'm double jointed in my wrists, arms, hips, shoulders and ankles. My cousin can bend her knees back really far, but I cannot, and she cannot do the things that I can with my elbows, fingers, and thumbs. I can bend them back below where my my index finger begins at the joint. I have double jointed elbows, fingers, and I don't know about my thumb, I think it may count as being double jointed, but I am not sure.
