A member asked:
I have hypermobility. really bad pains in my knees for a couple of years on and off. it seems to be worse when resting is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ehlers-Danlos Syndro: Since you are pregnant the hypermobility may be extended. With the pregnancy you make relaxin to ease the baby down the birth canal. This can have a general effect but why you are having more symptoms while resting, but we can speculate that with rest there is less muscle tone. This is why hypermobility is best treated with exercise to increase muscle tone.
