May I ask, is the hypermobility disorder you refer to EDS? If so, what was the injury?

My doc didn't do the full set of test/exam for an hEDS diagnosis, so technically it's just generalized hypermobility spectrum disorder based on past medical history and a near "perfect" beighton score. It could be hEDS though, as a lay person reading the diagnostic criteria I either fit it, or are borderline.

Injury was to my SI joint, I've historically always irritated it lifting, but I set a new PR for deadlifts and it was debilitating for 3 weeks before my other half made me stop being stubborn and see a doctor about it.

I've also had my left shoulder joint surgically repaired after multiple dislocations.
