What does a double jointed wrist look like?

Hmm... Well, it's slightly indistinguishable from a normal wrist at a fast glance, or even stare. You can do one out of two things to figure out if your wrist is double jointed. Method 1: The rest of your body. Most likely if your wrist is double jointed, some other body parts are too, such as the fingers and arm. Try bending your fingers far back, but if they start to hurt stop immediately! Also, you can try to touch your thumb to the same wrist. Method 2: There are things you can do to determine if you are double jointed in the wrist. If your wrist starts to hurt badly while doing any of these tricks, stop quickly and rest it. Or, set your arm down, with your elbow on a table. Now, turn your palm to touch the table, leaving your elbow against the table also. My sources? Why, I'm double jointed in approximately 37 joints. 1. Take your wrist and bend it back. Yep. Backwards. If it goes farther then you think it should without pain, congrats. You have joined the millions of amazing, awesome double jointed people.


Is there such thing as being double jointed?

It is not possible for one to be double jointed. If one can bend their back, leg, elbow, thumb, etc. in strange ways, then they might think that they are double jointed, but they aren't. It is just easier for them to bend their joints than other people. As the previous answerer stated, it is not possible to be double jointed (unless of course you had a strange birth defect in which an extra vestigial joint was made during your conception). The actual scientific term for "double-jointedness" is hyper-flexibility, the ability for a body part to flex, or bend, more freely than normal body parts.
