I was born double jointed in the hip which made me pigeon toed. I went through hell in school. Braces were tried in the late 60's but doctor said if anything it made my condition worst. Has anyone else had experiences like this with being double jointed?

Oh there is no such thing as double joints? Hmmm I guess the way I walk has all been in my head or when they wanted to operate on me in the 60's to do something with my bones. But couldn't gurantee how long I be in a wheelchair? I can do a really neat trick though. I can turn my foot around facing the other direction and walk like that. So doctor what is my condition then?

Yes Nolaladie I'm fine. If people worry about how I walk that is their problem now. Thanks for asking. :)

This isn't anything huge, but my middle fingers bend backward at the knuckles (this is somewhat useful- it gives me a more inconspicuous way to flip people off!).

I was, but it's just my thumbs and some of my toes, so it didn't really mess with my life any.
