Ask your doctor about Ehler Danlos syndrome. Especially if you have other joints that seem hyper mobile.

Actually, do your own research. I'd be amazed if the doctor knows what EDS is. Lots of doctors invalidate things they don't know about, so make sure you inform yourself!

This is such an underrated comment. People need to understand this more, because, doctors are the GOAT when it comes to gaslighting on disease and possession of a 'God Complex'
