A member asked:
Ortho or rheumatologist. acquired hypermobility in a joint does that make the entire joint just a tiny bit looser than before hypermobility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you mean there was trauma and now a particular joint is hypermobile, i'd suggest an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in the particular joint in question. If you mean many of your joints are hypermobile, a rheumatologist may be best.
