A friendly reminder to anyone who has Ehlers-Danlos or has joint hypermobility (aka "double-jointed"):

*****
Avoid the antibiotic Cipro like the plague.
*****

It can destroy your body. It weakens tendons and ligaments and makes them susceptible to abruptly bursting or snapping. The effects of the drug can be long-term. My brother took it and had to have major surgery to have a tendon reattached in his thumb. His story isn't nearly as horrible as others I have heard.

Does anyone know a good exercise to strengthen your wrist joint and the muscles that hold it in place?

I'm #doublejointed which means my joints are much more flexible and it's very easy to dislocate them (often not painful or much less than for people with regular mobility).

This bites me in the ass when I'm trying to do parkour climbs in walls, as I almost always dislocate my left wrist joint and while the dislocation is painless, I can't use it for strength in that situation because it goes through the joints and not the proper muscles.

So I'm trying to look for something that I can do when not raining parkour that will make the muscles around my wrist be stronger and stop the joint from moving in that situation....
