Those of you who have children that have hypermobility, when did they start getting pains if they have pain?
My youngest daughter has been having pains in her knees and shins for 5 months now. She is 2 year 8 months. Started when she was 27 months. Almost always in the later evening/bedtime. Her pediatrician has said they’re just growing pains. Thing is they seem to happen too often to be growing pains. I’ve since noticed her knees bend backward the wrong way when she stands. Also I tried the beighton score thing and her knees, wrists, pinky fingers all bend enough to be considered hypermobile. Her elbows are fine. I can’t tell on her back since she either can’t tell how to lay her palms flat on the floor or maybe she just can’t do her back isn’t bendy. I believe her ankles are extra bendy too. She also since she was a baby would have cracky joints. Like if I was changing her diaper and I’d lift her legs off the floor her ankle would pop. Or if I’d pick her up her shoulders would crack. Freaked me out but she never seemed phased by it. Someone have a child as young as mine already being affected with pain from hypermobility? Of course I’m worried it could be something like cancer that’s actually causing her pains. She gets the pains 2-3 times a week usually. Mainly around bedtime and they usually last 15-20 min. But sometimes much longer. Last night she woke up several times from 9 pm-3 am saying her ankle hurt. I hate this. I’m afraid it’s something very scary like cancer or even if it is hypermobility that it will just get worse as she gets older :( I am grateful it doesn’t seem to affect her during the day it affects her activity in the day.
