    Hi kazt84
    Sounds like you are in for some tests which I hope will get effective answers and treatments for you.
    Sorry I am new to this bizz so am not able to give info but there are a lot of peeps here who know their onions.
    Best joke I ever read, "With that information and a diagnosis of spondylosis, your doctor can develop a treatment plan‏" or back in reality totally ignore you. Is ok I have a sense of humour and a boxing glove, not defeated yet.

    If he's still testing then it sounds like you have a working diagnosis, something to start with. Hypermobility syndrome was where I began until symptoms became clearer and obviously not just HMS. Physio, core stability work and muscle strengthening all help deal with that so you may find that referral quite useful. Well done for getting through it all! Love LV xx
    Hey little fighter, things will get brighter
