Q for the EDSers.

[kaberett]

Sometimes I will get a dull ker-chunk feeling in one of my joints, particularly if I am bending/stretching a bit more than common sense dictates in an attempt to reach something. And then said joint will ache for at least the rest of the day.

I have no idea whether this is normal for hypermobility, or normal without hypermobility, or what, and some sense of what is going on would be great. <3

Yep. Except a physio told me last week many people have it, and it has a name I can't remember, and its fine and normal unless its accompanied with pain, or particularly loud/bang/crack. For my shoulder, where it happens most often with pain, its cartilage moving across/against bone and tendon. Noise/sensation can also be made by bone and tendon and sensation of fluid moving inside joint is result of pressure being released and blood rushing to area

Oh hmm. Curious.

It is accompanied by pain in my case (ache for the rest of the day), but -- hmm. Something to talk about next time I see a physio, I suppose.
