Double Jointedness?

Post Reply New Topic

Well, if it's genetic like lots of people are thinking now, and double-jointedness is also genetic . . . then yeah.

i'm double-jointed.

Every finger. I can also touch my tongue to the tip of my nose. Always thought that was weird.

My son's fingers are so flexible. He can snap all eight fingers at the same time. He snaps fast and rhythmically. He amazes people,

Ooo, I can touch my tongue to my nose too.

My doctor can take my leg, while I'm sitting down, and move it side to side in my knee joint. He says, "does this hurt?" I say no. He says, "this ought not to work like this." lol

I am extremely double jointed in the elbows. It freaks people out - I can make my arms look broken.

So can I!

I've freaked people out by accident simply because that's how I stretch

Have you ever used it on purpose, like someone barely touches you and you scream and move your arm so it looks broken? LOL

Fun times in double jointed land.

All of my fingers but the thumbs are double-jointed at the lowest joint.

I'm diagnosed with joint hypermobility so my thumbs lie on the inside of my wrists, I'm forever twisting my ankles, and my knees and elbows bend too far in the wrong direction.

I can also bend my thumbs at 90 degrees across my palms then curl my fingers over them, so the end of my thumb sticks out past the edge of my hand. Apparently that's not 'normal', either.

As I understand, I am double-jointed.

Yup, both thumbs. I can also roll my tongue and wiggle my ears and nose

Elbows, hands and wrists. I can hyperextend my elbow quite a bit, touch my thumb to my wrist, and bend my fingers back quite far.

At one high school I had a friend with AS who was double-jointed.

yep, in my right arm and i think in my feet...i can repeatedly crack my feet while standing perfectly still.

Being double-jointed rocks! I spend saturday nights alone! jk
