Appointment prep
Prepare for a hypermobility spectrum disorder evaluation
Widespread pain, fatigue, and injury proneness without full EDS criteria are often overlooked. Medvo helps you document the spectrum of symptoms and request appropriate assessment and management.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Recurrent joint sprains, subluxations, and soft tissue injuries
- · Chronic pain and fatigue beyond what imaging shows
- · GI, autonomic, and skin symptoms alongside hypermobility
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · Beighton score and other hypermobility assessments
- · Referral to PT knowledgeable in hypermobility and possibly rheumatology/genetics
- · Screening for associated conditions (POTS, MCAS, etc.)
If you've been dismissed
- · Hypermobility called 'a party trick'
- · Pain attributed to 'poor posture' or 'weakness' only
