A small percentage of the general population can touch their thumb to their wrist like this, but if you can, it could be a sign that you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome! Check out my channel for more info about EDS.

Yes, I can and I was told by a doctor that I probably have Ehlers Danlos.

Yes, I just found this out yesterday! This would explain so much! I've suffered for decades with weird issues- extreme pain, chronic tendonitis, back problems, TMJ, fatigue, brain fog, etc.

I can on my left hand ( somewhat) but not my dominant hand, however I could do it on both hands as a child and teenager. My right hand has just become more stiff over the years. I have a medical bracelet on my left wrist that is for my Epilepsy and my thumb almost touches that. I have Classical EDS.

this party trick led to severe carpel tunnel. 20 year old me is upset at 8-14 year old me.

What's funny is I didn't know I could do this until the rheumatologist asked me to. I went to get checked for EDS because of my super stretchy skin. I also suffer from something called Neck-tongue syndrome, I experience TMJ, poor wound healing/easy bruising/scarring, dysautonomia and pretty much just always have some acute pains that come and go constantly. I just finished an echo to see if I have any heart abnormalities such as mitral valve prolapse. I also deal with POTS, PNES, anxiety, insomnia, LPR.. All the doctors essentially just scratch their heads and shrug at me 🙃 all this to say if any of this sounds like you, it never hurts to look into!
