Is it great being hypermobile? No really.

Over the years I have had problems with so many of my joints, I score top marks on the Beighton Scale, it seems that most of my joints are loose.
My ankle is so painful at the moment, it came on yesterday suddenly for no reason whatsoever, one minute it was okay, the next I could hardly put my weight on my left foot. The ankle has been clicking for some time, and I have had many times when pain has started in the ankle for no reason over the course of many years, but this time the pain radiates up the lower calf and I get a shooting pain when I put weight on it. I have put my magnetic support on which normally works in a few days so I am hoping it will take the pain away, though as yet it has done no good at all. I am barely able to hobble and am slightly worried that this pain is not the same as I usually get. I have noticed that in the last few months the pain, when it comes, lasts for longer. At one time I could put the strapping on and it would subside within 3 or 4 days, but it has been playing up a little for a fortnight now and keeps getting worse each time it returns. My GP said he cannot give me any different anti inflammatories or pain killers so he seems to have given up and I don`t quite know what to do, or where to go for help. I do find that if I have pains in one or two joints it makes me walk slightly differently to compensate for the pain site and then I subsequently get pain in a different place because I am moving my body in a slightly different way or position.
I used to think it was great being hypermobile when I was younger and my party piece was to do the splits, high kick or wrap my legs around my neck. I now hate being hypermobile as I would not be in the physical pain I am suffering now if I weren`t.
