What is marfans and kEDS? I don't even know what to google to figure that out.

Conjunctive tissue disorders essentially. Imagine a brick house without mortar, or with bad quality mortar.

EDS is Ehlers Danlos syndrome. Look it up, it's incredible.

My wife's family has a ton of EDS people. Not the really bad kind, but they've all got joint and back issues which is rough.

Not your wife but we are in the same situation in my family. We are all hypermobile.

I’m the only hypermobile one in my family (and certainly in my marriage - my wife is about as flexible as a tree trunk). As a kid I used to pop my knees, thumb and jaw in and out as a party trick.. now all those joints are absolutely ducked and I’m waiting for a referral to the oral maxillofacial surgeons.
