Double-Jointed Elbows Might Be Hurting You More Than You Think

Double-Jointed Elbows Might Be Hurting You More Than You Think

Back Pain, Ehlers Danlos and Hypermobility, Surgery Or Physical Therapy /

You might think having double-jointed elbows is just a quirky trait. But if your elbows bend further than they should, it could be a sign of something more serious.

Hypermobility can feel like a cool party trick, but it often comes with pain, instability, and even injuries. Many people with overly flexible joints don’t realize they might have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) or generalized hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD).

EDS affects the connective tissues that support your joints, skin, and organs. When your body doesn’t produce strong collagen, your joints become too loose. This can lead to:

– Frequent joint pain or dislocations
– Unstable movement that causes injuries
– Chronic fatigue from overworked muscles trying to compensate
– Digestive or cardiovascular issues in more severe cases

If your elbows hyperextend, it’s worth paying attention to other symptoms. Ignoring the signs can lead to long-term joint damage and chronic pain. Understanding the connection between hypermobility and EDS can help you take control of your health before symptoms worsen.
