Hypermobility: Teenager w. "loose joints" c/o "joint pain". Joint Hypermobility has been shown, by British doctors, to relate to future onset of chronic pain & fibromyalgia. Are two dozen clinics in England for Hypermobility. Keep weight normal. Pursue aquatherapy, tai chi & yoga to tonify muscles; to compensate for loose joints. Avoid extreme sports & those where you might fall onto buttock; injuring pelvis.
