Joint issues??

Curious to know if other autistics, especially mature ones, do you problems with connective tissues of joints? I have fibromyalgia but keep getting tendinitis, rotator cuff issues, tennis elbow…is just age or do others have problems as well. I don’t have EDS, but two knee replacements and 2 failed rotator cuff surgeries waiting for 3rd just to tidy it up on right, surgery on left shoulder as well. Oh and just had steroid injection in left hip due to fascia problem…it just seems it could be connected to me but would like to know…..anyone else?

  • I struggled with rheumatoid arthritis since childhood, it causes a lot of pain, I had somekind of therapy around 10y.o. unsuccessful.

    I had many bones fractured or broken and some didn't heal/grow back correctly.

    Especially bones in my right wrist, a constant mild pain, or spiking blinding sharp when I twist it when lifting something, and it continues to deform now, no fix available except immobilising it permanently

    sometimes my wrist and hand goes numb for few minutes as if it was paralised after incident like that
