sublux?
ive always answered "no" when a dr asks if ive ever had any dislocations etc but this round of my shoulder acting up is definitely having me wondering the truth😭 this is what it looks like when I fully relax my muscles. i can conciously tighten my muscles to hold it up for like an hour at a time but that gets sore FAST
im on waiting list to see a geneticist, saw rheum when i was 16 (im 20 now) and was dx with "benign joint hypermobility" because she was incompetent and it was literally her last day so she didn't gaf💀 she just did beighton score and ASKED if i have stretchy skin. didn't even check for herself, I said "in some places" and she marked it as "no" and said that that ENTIRELY DISQUALIFIED ME from having any form of eds🙄🙄
my mom was dx with hEDS in the summer but it's from a different country so my pcp is unsure if that is able to count as family history in the criteria
edit to add:
the drooped shoulder is causing shooting pains down my arm and my hand starts to go numb if I let it droop for more than a few minutes, and there was an (albeit mild) "injury" that started this a few days ago. i basically stretched it a little too much and then a bunch of things crunched and now it's like this. this has happened countless times in my life (multiple times a year) to both shoulders. i can't get it "back into place" but it goes back to mostly normal after a week or two. its been happening more often as i get older but im only 20 so im wondering if it's bc of increase in breast size (had A cups until i was 16, now im a D or DD)
