Hi all...
I have Joint Hypermobility Syndrome, diagnosed nearly a year ago. Since then i have progressivley got worse. I am in constant pain with my lower back, hips, knees, elbows, jaw cracks and locks and now my fingers and wrists are being affected. I am very limited to what i can do, even just housework such as hoovering and sorting the washing leave me in agony. I have just been back to my doctors this morning to get a second opinion with another doctor as the one who diagnosed me just kept fobbing me off with painkillers of which none work i have also tried pyhsio but struggled to bend n shape how they needed me to so very pointless. I am now being referred to a rheumatologist for expert advive beyond a regular gps knowledge as they know very little about the condition. Its very possible that i may have some sort of arthritis on top of my JHS (seemingly osteoarthritis is common with joint probs) or it could also be Fibromyalgia. Whilst there i also asked her opinion on ttc as me n my partner are in our 2nd month of ttc#4......i have been told that i would find it very painful and would probably need physio aswell as the help of a maternity belt to help bear the weight. Im not sure how to feel about this i was so looking forward to a bfp. If anyone would like to chat to me about this please feel free it would be great to have someone to relate to.
Thanks xx
