I have hypermobility too. It doesnt affect me day to day but my joints crack a lot which hurts and also when its cold my joints get really sore. I also have a wrist support which i wear sometimes as they're affected the most. Especially my right wrist as i have a ligament tear in there which flaps about and makes it difficult to move. I also can't step up big steps or jump of walls as my knees just give way. They did test me for arthritis as most of my family has it but i didnt have the Rh factor. To be honest it was never fully explained to me i was just given a leaflet on hypermobility and rheumatoid arthritis and sent on my way with some anti inflams!
I did make a thread about hypermobility years ago but there were no other sufferers!
