Do you have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?

It is possible, but not diagnosed. I've always had "loose joints". Like I can just kind of twist my legs and dislocate my knees without pain.

Its not easy to get diagnosed but you might want to look it up. My daughter discovered she has it and its been a journey to try and find treatment. But it read like a laundry list of all of these issues she had struggled with her whole life: hyper flexibility, migraines, stomach problems, difficulty gaining weight, etc., it does come with certain heart risks so its not just a live with it in discomfort sort of thing. Its worthwhile to look it up and advocate for yourself if you think you or someone else might.
