Dd has very hypermobile ankles, hips, wrists and fingers and it seems to be getting worse. The other day her ankle gave way on her when she was standing still and she crumpled to the ground. We have noticed that she is walking quite badly, her left ankle seems particularly bad and she is turning her foot out which is in turn causing pain in her knee. The earliest doctor’s appointment I can get her is the middle of August (and it will be on the telephone) but I was wondering had any suggestions of what we might be able to do to help her in the interim? I am also wondering how she is going to cope at secondary school with extended writing - would she be allowed to use a laptop, could this become her normal way of working so that she could type in exams?
