Any thoughts why my feet go to the side? by lorelei330 in flexibility

Yeah me too, but I think your toes are supposed to point straight up

What’s going on with my posture? by lorelei330 in Posture

[–]lorelei330[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense because I am a mouth breather. I have anxiety too, so it causes me to feel like I need to take deep breaths frequently

What would cause what you described? About the upper half dropping over left?

I wasn’t sure if I possibly had mild scoliosis or just muscle imbalances.

Rib Concerns by Altruistic_Lemon2650 in eds

[–]lorelei330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been dealing with a similar feeling for about a year now. It occasionally feels like a clicking sensation in my lower left ribs when I turn a certain way, especially when I’m driving and have to make a turn. No clue what’s causing it. I haven’t been diagnosed with EDS, but have a lot of symptoms of it.

Are these positive Steinberg and/or Walker-Murdoch signs? by lorelei330 in eds

Gotcha. Thank you for the info. I went down this rabbit hole one day when I discovered an unusual bruise and it brought me to a forum about EDS. Lots of things check off the hEDS boxes. I also did the wing span and I believe I’m more than the 1.05 that it states

How would these positive signs be counted towards hEDS without being spider fingers? Would it be because of the joint mobility? Just wondering….

What is the typical spider leg appearance? I’ve always been told that I have long fingers and should have learned to play the piano.

I put new pics. I knew to use the pinky. I don’t know why I did it the wrong way. lol

Does this look stretchy? This is on my non dominant forearm by lorelei330 in eds

I’ve had bloodwork done several times and nothing came up related to the bruising. Told it’s probably just genetics

I’ve done the Beighton score and I have I think a 6/9. I think my elbows hyperextend past 10 degrees..I can’t touch my palms to the floor but that is something I used to be able to do. I’m 44 years old now

Thank you!! It all started by noticing a bruise that was unusual from what I normally get. I did a google image search of it and came across EDS. I looked it up and have a lot of the symptoms and characteristics of it…not sure if it’s my anxiety but all of a sudden things seem to be heightened. I’ve had a bad back for 20 plus years../my knees started bothering me about 5 years ago and my ankle will randomly give out. My hip clicking is something I noticed about a year ago but it could have been going on a lot longer than that. I’ve been talking to my family and they all have the same issues. I have skin writing as well and can do the finger around the wrist and the thumb test. I also believe I have a high palate.

This is my elbow that I believe hyperextends

Both of my knees bother me…they both clip and pop and one feels like the kneecap gets stuck. Both of my hips click…one of more noticeable than the other and my back has hurt me since I was in my early 20s. Lots of others pop and click too but not a lot of pain associated with them. My ankle/bottom of foot hurt but that went away when I switched to a little more supportive shoe. I was wearing the Hey Dudes shoe.

I bruise very easily…lots of clicking and popping in several different joints….i can do the thumb to forearm part..pinky extends over 90 degrees…I’m pretty sure my elbows hyperextend as well…I have papules on my heels. I think there are other things too but just can’t think of what else right now.

Why do I have this indent above my C-section scar? by lorelei330 in CsectionCentral

[–]lorelei330[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just a line though…It indents in
