hi everyone I'm looking for some advice please. my 13 year old has noticed a dent (as he calls it) in his chest. we noticed it a while ago and as he is so tall and slim we thought It was just part of him growing but a month later it seems more sunken. I've rang the doctor who has agreed to see him. he also mentioned hypermobility apparently the 2 somehow link. has anyone else had this and what is the treatment. hes so nervous and reading all sorts about it, I am trying to reassure him but I'm nervous too ive never heard of these. thankyou.
