Hypermobility: a little-known pain condition
Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) is a connective tissue condition characterized by hypermobile joints, leading to pain, fatigue, and digestive issues. Many individuals, often undiagnosed, experience delayed diagnosis averaging nearly two decades. The disorder disproportionately affects women and can worsen due to stressors such as hormonal changes or external factors like illness. Treatment options include physiotherapy and gentle exercise, but a lack of clear clinical guidelines hampers diagnosis and management.
