Am I hypermobile?My mum seems to think I'm just being paranoid and its just because I'm young and flexible except I've read up on it and I seem to have a lot of the symptoms and I don't want to have it but if I do I want to know about it. So heres the evidence some may seem to have nothing to do with it I don't know but I took them from this article(http://www.arc.org.uk/arthinfo/medpubs/6527/6527.asp) article
I've had severe growing pains
I fidget
I sit in my chair in the most bizarre ways because I can never get comfy and often get called up on it by friends
I'm not sure how but I always walk in an odd way
I bruise very easily
I write very scruffily
I can't stand still for very long or my hips and legs start to ache
I can do a lot of the stretches and earlier today looked up some yoga moves and did some of the harder ones such as the 'standing forward bend', 'wheel pose', and the 'One-Legged King Pigeon Pose' (to be continued)
(continued) also when I play sports (especially badminton which I enjoy so much I have recently joined my towns team) although I feel absolutely no pain during the excercise around two hours after play I begin to feel the aches and the next day I can be assaulted by joint pains so bad that I have to take a cocktail of painkillers just to crawl out of bed, I can't find any other explanation as to why this would hurt me so much and nobody else I know, it certainly can't be normal but I think my mum thinks I'm either faking or its gone because I used to complain of pain a lot but now I just take drugs and get on with it because I know she won't do anything, so I guess what I want to know is is my mum right to think me paranoid or could there actually be something wrong with me?
the link for the website doesn't work sorry here it is again hopefully it will work: http://www.arc.org.uk/arthinfo/medpubs/6527/6527.asp
thanks frayed knot for the answer and I realised about how I should see a doctor but like I said my mum thinks I am being paranoid thats why I looked into it so much and thats why I'm asking here so that I know whether she is right and I am being paranoid or I should tell her that I don't think I am and ask to go to the experts
Oh and my aunty has it and it has caused her no end of problems so you can't blame me for being nervous really

It does appear that you have a lot of the symptoms listed, but to be accurately diagnosed you need to see a doctor. Written things are good guides, but that is what they are...guides. They point to the possibilities and you determine from that if you have enough in common to seek a true diagnosis and/or treatment.
A funny story comes to mind...did you ever hear of the hypochondriac that always read medical books and died of a typographical error?
It's good that you're seeking knowledge, but don't be your own doctor....use the guidance it gives to either dismiss the possibilities, or follow through with a doctors visit. Good health to you, luv.
