What is Joint Hypermobility Syndrome?
About 5% of the population have hypermobile joints - their joints have a range of movement that is greater than normal. This condition by itself is not serious, unless there is an underlying disease.

Joint hypermobility syndrome can be very difficult to live with because it can cause fatigue (extreme tiredness) and long-term pain.
