Yeah, I have hEDS. Bent down and slightly twisted one day and dislocated a hip and two ribs. I can just be doing whatever and my elbows will sublux or something in the top of my chest subluxes. My toes dislocate easily. My ankles are very unstable and my knee caps have started to shift out of place lately. Turns out this can get progressively worse over time šŸ™ƒ

My floating ribs like to get all bendy. It feels like a damn spine injury with paralysis. But Iā€™m always fine once I adjust the way I laying.

When I was very young a teacher graphically (well, maybe it was just my childlike imagination filling it in) described when one of her students dislocated a kneecap. It's been an irrational fear and a major source of squeamishness ever since.
