Joint hypermobility: Would see orthopedist or physical medicine physician. Hypermobility can be from connective tissue elasticity changes such as seen in ehlers danlos disease or acquired joint space problems such as osteoarthritis. A physical evaluation should help you establish the cause of your hypermobility. Suggestions for joint protection through exercise and activity can then be recommended.
