A member asked:
What is the difference between ehlers-danlos syndrome hypermobility type 3 and double jointedness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
EDS-3 is formal Dx: Eds-3 is a formal diagnosis whereas the term double jointedness is a term used to describe someone with hyperlax joints. Hyperlaxity is a normal variant and is only worrisome if it results in pain or joint instability whereby the term is changed to patholaxity (pathologic joint laxity).
