anyone got tips for exercises I can do to assists w/ hypermobility? + What disability aids do you find helpful for joint pain?

Hi everyone! I (18afab) have suspected heds. Been dealing with joint pain, muscle weakness and heart problems for years. I'm currently focused on getting a diagnosis for my brachycardia and tachycardia, however it kind of clicked recently that my symptoms primarily align with h-eds.

so, I have two questions! First, what exercises and activities do you folks find good for joint pain? I heard swimming is good, but im nervous because the pools near me seem unhygienic, and my immune system isn't the best.

Second! What kind of disability aids help you with EDS or hypermobility? The knee-locking is very difficult for me, and I find it difficult to stand without pain. I use compression socks a lot now, which help a bit, but not enough.

All thoughts are appreciated! thank you!!
