Just saw my LLMD today and he was concerned about my knee pain so he tested my joints and apparently I have hypermobility in my knees and my torso. Does anyone have this and is it associated with Lyme? I know EDS is but I'm not sure if they're similar. He told me I have to strengthen my quads/knees and core because they probably move around too much causing pain. I guess I'll try yoga again. I would go back to physical therapy but it's not in the budget.

Hyper mobile joints are part of EDS - but you can have hypermobile joints and not have EDS.

So this is something new?

At one point I thought my son had EDS because of his hyper mobility - but it was ruled out.

He was diagnosed with celiac disease several years later and then his hyper mobility went away after going gluten free.

(Not saying yours is anything to do with gluten but there are other causes of hypermobile joints)

Yes relatively new, the symptom started within the past year. I'm not sure how I "developed" hypermobility as an adult, I thought it became an issue long before then generally.

Perhaps it’s from lyme and co’s
Maybe it has weakened the support around your joints - I wouldn’t be surprised.

Yeah that must be it. Over time. Getting sore knees in my 20s, can't wait what the next decades bring! Oh boy.
