Your quirky body

[Nick Bounty]

Yeah I know, everyone is unique and has a special body blah blah blah, sometimes though I feel as though there are things about my body that are just plain weird. For example, my arms don't fully bend/extend at the elbow. where as a normal person can fully straighten out their arm, mine will always have a slight bend at the elbow - heck some people can bend it so far it straightens then bends again in the other direction. I've never heard of someone having this problem (and no, I've never broken my arms, or anything).

Another one is my clicking/popping jaws. I've had them since I was 16, and I remember a doctor telling me that there is no (worthwhile) fix to the problem, and that it is actually pretty common. Doesn't stop it from being annoying as all hell sometimes, even after all these years, I am not completely used to it... I wish it would just go away .

Those are just some of my weird quirks about my body, I guess if that's the worst I have to complain about, I shouldn't even bother considering there are parapalegics and quadrapalegics and palsied people who have to live with life changing differences in their bodies.

Still... I figure if I heard some other (minor) quirks with peoples bodies, I wouldn't feel so weird. So... uhhh.... tell me yours. Or don't, whatever.

My ankles sometimes make a cracking sound when I move my foot.
Sometimes an eyelid (mostly the left one) flutters for no apparant reason.
All I can think of right now.

I can dislocate-relocate my ball socket hip-leg joints, it freaks people out, but I imagine each instance is a day or so less before arthritis kicks in, so I don't do it often.

My stomach is also very, erm, "quirky" however I wish it was normal.

 

[Simalacrum]

well, I have a thing called Joint Hypermobility Syndrome.

Long story short, it means that your really flexible.

So... yeah, I have a lot of quirky body movements I can do

 

[Kabutos]

The ends of my eyebrows point up instead of down.

I can wiggle my nose and the area where someone's double chin would be.

I'm weird like that.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Meh. Involuntary muscle spasms.
I had something else to add, but I forgot. my memory sucks. oh yeah. I just remembered :|
My hands sometimes start to shake uncontrollably. it's kinda funny, but I try not to let anyone else see.

Another one is my clicking/popping jaws. I've had them since I was 16, and I remember a doctor telling me that there is no (worthwhile) fix to the problem, and that it is actually pretty common. Doesn't stop it from being annoying as all hell sometimes, even after all these years, I am not completely used to it... I wish it would just go away .

I have that as well, it's just fluid moving about within the joint cavity that makes that noise.

Another unique thing is my fingers. Put your hand flat on the table then flex your fingers backwards. Notice how yours are straight? Mine curve backwards, I'm not sure why.

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

I have an easy-flow elbow and ridiculous dexterity. Like, without any proper training, I can preform very high class maneuvers with a sword.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

I've got a clicking right knee, so whenever I go up or down a staircase my knee just pops. It's weird.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

I have a ringing in my right ear now and then and my left eyebrow is permanently raised unless I focus on keeping my brows level.

 

[Chishandfips]

Most people have either two free earlobes or two attached earlobes. I have one of each.

...exciting, I know!

 

[Raven's Nest]

My friend Tom is blind in one and a half eyes, he has a brain tumour, a big hunchback, a hole in his heart, learning difficulties, irregular heart beat and a heart murmor.... But he is the coolest dude I know. His favourite things in the world?..."drinks and chairs"

I love that guy...

(I got two webbed toes)

 

[Jedamethis]

I....am pretty unquirky.

 

[Superior Mind]

I have a deformed left ear.

 

[Vrud]

I can bend my arm over my head from behind and grab my chin. Freaks my sister out

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

Double jointed.
I can click every joint in my body, including neck and back.
Sometimes my joints lock into place, so my arm doesn't bend all the way outwards.
Popping/cracking jaw.
Heart Arrhythmias.
And eyes that are slightly different colours.


That list probably doesn't even scratch the surface either.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

I don't really think I have anything...

Nope, nothing.

EDIT: I tell a lie. If I press the back of my left hand against my back and arch it, my spine clicks. Also very occasionally my chest hurts and I feel out of breath, once I had a dream that someone pulled my heart out and destroyed it and I woke up with the chest pains...I should probably go to a doctors soon. Thanks for making this thread to remind me

 

[Froobyx]

Jaw cracks and gets stuck.. Only started doing it again recently which is a pain.

My knees click rather annoyingly whenever I crouch.
