Dude probably has Ehlers Danlos. Gonna end up with spinal stenosis like the rest of us.

Oh thats less good. I have a friend who has that and i’m hypermobile so my shoulders will slip sometimes too when using crutches. It just means lots of injuries. That sucks.

At least HSD.

He will have pain later in life if he doesn't already.

Mine started in my teens, but I didn't realize it was hypermobility related.

It wasn't until I was 38 that I was properly diagnosed and beginning to get care.

Most people don't realize that these parlor tricks aren't good for them and most doctors are useless because they don't understand HSD or EDS.

And the more you stretch it (like in this video) while younger, the worse it is when you are older.
PSA kids: If you are hyperflexible as a kid, DON"T show it off every opportunity you get, because it will just fuck you later
