Dd was diagnosed as hypermobile when she was about 12 months old. Her ankles collapsed inwards when walking plus other signs of hypermobility with fingers wrists ankles etc.We were told there was nothing could be done until she was about 3, get her into a dance class to help strengthening (we did) and she should be ok if not complaining of pain.
She doesnt complain of any pain although but she falls and trips day I dread collecting her from school because there's always some fall or accident. I was watching her walk in the shoe shop yesterday and even in calf high boots I could see her ankles leaning inwards.
There is also the fact that she suffers terribly with the cold. If it gets into her, her lips go blue and it takes an age to warm her up. I have read that this is indicative of a connective tissue disorder.
I suppose what I'm asking is is it still something to be worried about? Is the lack of pain a red herring and she should be under a consultant?
