I am 53 years old. Was and still am hyper mobile since childhood. Was diagnosed with scoliosis at 12 years of age, bruise easily, soft skin that is somewhat elastic, numerous subluxations with tendon and ligament tears of knees and wrists, scarring of skin, Rhynauds, and bursting of blood vessels in fingers, toes and eyes, gastrointestinal issues, degenerative disc disease, and chronic pain among other issues. I am now disabled and pain is chronic, but having difficulty getting a clear diagnosis of what is going on with my body.

    Its because you're looking for one unifying diagnosis, when in fact you have loads of separate issues.

    I think you should speak with your doctor about Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
