We had dd (3) at the hospital today for another check for her intoeing gait. I commented again on how clicky all her joints were, this time they finally took me seriously and did all sorts of tests with her to check her joints...she can lie on her tummy with her knees at a 90 degree angle. legs lying flat to the floor, her hands fingers, wrists, elbows and arms can all bend to some seriously yucky degrees.
The upturn of this is that her intoeing may never get better because of her hyper mobility, she may never be able to adjust to the anteversion of her hips. She may need an operation at about 10 if teased for it. They did suggest she may be a good gymnast though!
Any one else out there gone through this?
