Hi folk! Mostly just posting to explain my journey
So I've had suspected hypermobility for several years. Went to the doctors due to regular discomfort and pain and it was basically 'oh yeah you're hypermobile but it shouldn't cause pain'. I explained it did, unfortunately, and then had numerous appointments, blood tests, all that fun stuff.
At the moment my main problem areas are shoulders and knees. They are pretty much in constant pain - I use ibuprofen gel and ice packs and stuff but it only really provides temporary relief. I used to walk everywhere, now I cannot walk for more than five minutes without pain. I use a walking stick and have a wheelchair for longer distances.
It has been a very quick deterioration of my body which I'm finding it difficult to manage - I guess I just wanted to find folk with similar stories!
I'm transmasc btw, been on T for around two years.
