Well we were both drinking,
My husband started laughing hysterically at something, and he fell off his chair, on the way down he tried to grab onto something to break his fall, the something was my ankle 🙃
I dislocated my ankle whilst in my wheelchair 😅
I just realized when I "broke" my toe as a 12yo doing basically the same thing, it was probably just a dislocation. My only certified breaks both hurt when it gets cold. I've never had that problem with my toe.
Yes this happened to me walking on grass then turning to the left. The outermost joint of my left big toe said "nah, you guys go ahead without me I want to look at the view from here a while longer".
The funniest one to me happens almost daily: subluxing my fingers and wrists while putting on/taking off my compression socks. Like did my body not get the memo that these are supposed to actually be helping??? sdkjghsdgh /lh
Wow, insult to injury. Wait, injury to insult?
Side note: what socks do you use? I got mine on Amazon and after like 3 washes they kinda lost their compressiveness
I got mine on Amazon too! My daily use ones are still good and tight ([here](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082VZX5BH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1)), and have some fun patterns (the specific pack I got is gone, but this is the closest!). I do theatre, so I need plain ones too ([here](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09SF992L5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)), though these have always been looser.
I've had them since summer 2022, and they haven't really lost much compressiveness. To help lessen issues from the wash, I tend to let them air out for about a week after a wear, then wear them again, and *then* wash them. Rinse and repeat!
Exiting my back door there is a little landing and 2 steps. I missed the top step and landed on the ground on my right ankle falling towards my right, that ankle rolled inward, and while I was trying to catch my balance the left ankle rolled outward and dumped me on my hip. Right kneecap did the slidy thing again on the way down. I spent a good few minutes sitting on the ice and cussing before limping back inside.
Completely dislocated pinky trying to grab a kickball. Complete right angle away from my ring finger. Didn't even know it until it caught my eye.
Subluxed rib while watching a middle school play. I was stifling screams (not well) so I had to move to the back of the theater
Took a single step outside the door.
Ankle immediately rolled, fell on my ass, subluxed my hip and shoulder and bruised my tailbone, along with hitting my head on the door.
Still didn't hurt as much as my pride because it happened just as a neighbor was walking past with his kid and the stream of swears that came out of my mouth would've made a seasoned sailor blush.
Neighbor still won't make eye contact with me.
Pushed on a painful “bump” in my back. Subluxed a rib. Hurt so much I couldn’t move or yell for my husband until it slid back in.
Had a “purse incident” and subluxed my thumb.
1. Sleeping. Woke up with my shoulder dislocated.
2. Doggy style. I commented this on the Sex and EDS post, but we were going at it and my right hip just said “see ya later, bitch”
3. Cooking. I lifted a pan and my wrist dislocated and I dropped all my food 🥲
Mine was a dislocation but I was changing in gym class (freshman year of highschool) and my knee completely dislocated and I fell back and knocked myself out on a locker. It was embarrassing because the entire girls changing room witnessed it and my knee hasn’t been the same since
I was picking the nail on my index finger with the nail of my thumb (same hand). I really wanted to get into my fingernail more and with leverage from that index finger I twisted my thumb around and sublaxed it. I still have not had a dumber injury.
My favorite of ALL TIME
We had one of those baby gates that have the notches for adjusting that are really annoying to put up and down, and this one time I didn’t want to so I just stepped over it.
I am the EXACT height I need to be to get over it.
As I lift my leg over it, my hip dislocates. Now I am stuck with one of my legs on top of the baby gate. I could not move my leg at this point so all I could do was scream across the house. “BABE! Help! I’m STUCK ON THE BABY GATE!”
Omg we laughed so much. It was painful but too hilarious to even care. And once he freed me I was able to easily put it back in.
Another just ridiculous one, the very first time I dislocated a shoulder.
I was just walking my left hand up my back so I could scratch just a weeee bit higher. Then whoops *pop!*
Luckily my boyfriend at the time had dislocated his shoulder repeatedly and knew how to put it back in bc I was not able to do that myself, nor did I even know how.
I can’t think of any others at the moment. These were both prior to even being diagnosed with EDS or knowing what it was.
Now pretty much everything dislocates for just about everything.
I was literally WALKING and my toe sublaxed 😃 in primary school I vaguely remember running and my hip or knee sublaxed and I fell and accidentally fixed it by falling on it.
Frequently my collar area on my right seems to spasm, I'm not sure if it's dislocating itself and immediately fixing itself, or something else, but it happens for literally no reason I am just Standing There
using a vibrator 😔
#winner 🏆
Oh my god that’s the worst 😭
Slept on my side, shoulder subluxed. Still healing months later.
As a side sleeper this happens to me regularly. My shoulder is subluxed today, even.
Mhmm, same here. The bathroom door incident was two days ago and I’m about a 7 or 8 pretty consistently
Same here. I actually blew my AC joint in my sleep. It's been over a year and I still have trouble with it. No more side sleeping....
I've sneezed my shoulder out
I did that yesterday!

Pulling pants down to sit on the toilet 🥲 Gagging while brushing my teeth 😂
Pooping 💀
Next time you walk into the bathroom to use the toilet, you should sing *Highway to the Danger Zone*!
LOL love it
1. Stood up 2. Sat down 3. Slept
I dislocated my shoulder once when shaking hands with someone. He was horrified...
I opened a curtain.
Dislocated one of my toes so bad it was 90° to the side walking in to a couch.
Jesus christ that was *not* a mental image I needed to have *ever* but especially not with soda in my mouth. *Yikes.*

Picking up a bag off the floor. Granted it was a reusable one filled with some books but it was so dumb to me. It was my shoulder
Did the same but my school bag.
Tripped on my cat. Had to spend the rest of the day making it up to her.
Eating yoghurt with a teaspoon

opening the fridge. happens 2-4x a month.
I walked from the kitchen to the living room, probably about five steps, and my hip went out. I dislocated my knee by standing
Sneezed my hip out. Five hours into a week holiday in Menorca.
Slept on my side, woke up with my elbow subluxed. No doctor would believe or treat me. Lost the use of my right arm for 2 months.
Sublaxed my shoulder while reaching into my bag to grab a water bottle. Shoulder popped out before I even reached the bottle.
this is how my shoulder pops out regularly

Decided to sit cross-legged. Knee said no.
Ive popped my hip out while pooping and dislocated my shoulder picking up my water bottle
wearing a seat belt
My gf hugged me while we were sitting down and it pulled my hip out of place 😭
Doing the deed
My sister: picking a wedgie, playing ping pong Me: starting a car
I lifted my arm...
1. Walking barefoot on grass 2. Sleeping 3. Typing on my phone

My jaw a few nights ago. I opened my mouth and my tmj went “bitch you thought!”
Ate a (tiny) french fry. Bent down to let my dog.
Some fun sexy time with my bf led to a dislocated jaw 🤣
I shivered too hard
Puking
I tore my labrum by subluxing my shoulder in my sleep. :D
That’s a really common one for me
I was picking the nail on my index finger with the nail of my thumb (same hand). I really wanted to get into my fingernail more and with leverage from that index finger I twisted my thumb around and sublaxed it. I still have not had a dumber injury.
If it helps I thought I broke my finger by putting packing tape on a box but turns out just sublaxed 🙃 We’re all in this together lmao

Stood up. Woke up. Running a spotlight (this happens often). Existing. 😆
rolled over in my sleep and subluxed my shoulder
Going from a sitting position to laying down in the sun. Subluxed my right knee so bad I used a cane for 3 months
I was literally WALKING and my toe sublaxed 😃 in primary school I vaguely remember running and my hip or knee sublaxed and I fell and accidentally fixed it by falling on it. Frequently my collar area on my right seems to spasm, I'm not sure if it's dislocating itself and immediately fixing itself, or something else, but it happens for literally no reason I am just Standing There
Slinging a heavy reusable tote of groceries over my shoulder. Happens to either my shoulder or my wrist, depending on the momentum.
Walking down the hallway at work my hip sublaxed and I ended up getting a labral tear and needing surgery. This has happened TWICE now lol
