Bracing/supports
I’ve suspected hEDS for a while now but never got anything officially diagnosed. Well I had an orthopedic appointment for my knee (I fell and tore my mcl along with partial dislocation of my kneecap). During the appointment my doctor noticed my knees over extend/bend backwards and noticed my kneecaps move while my legs are straight. I brought up the thought that I suspected hEDS. He pulled up the Beighton scoring and had me attempt everything; he said I had 8 of 9. He believes I have hEDS, and I’m 100% for sure joint hypermobile. He suggested bracing my most hypermobile joints, which also happen to be the joints I hurt the worst in. So, what brands work best for you? A lot of my pain is in my hands, knees, and feet, so what style of braces/supports would be best? I’m in the process of getting an official diagnosis so I can get a better understanding from them; but in the meantime I just want to start getting a hold on my pain.
