I don't know if what I have has a name, the closest I can come up with is 'chronic patella dislocation'. Got it from my dad.
I can do squats with heavy weight and run without a problem, but if I strike the ground at just the right angle with just the right force, my kneecap will slip out of place and I drop to the ground in agony. This means pretty much any activity involving rapidly changing direction (basically all sports) are out of the question. Just the other day I was walking along grass and stepped in a shallow hole, and that two inch difference in elevation was enough to pull the kneecap out.
Even worse is that my knee never swells up or shows sign of injury, so nobody really believes me or can understand what it's like to walk around with a ticking time bomb in your knees. And I'm treated like I'm lazy or cowardly because I turn down invites to basketball or whatever, knowing my knee would give out in ten seconds.
Also, I have pretty bad trigger finger and I wake up with claws every morning. Takes hours before they warm up enough to use.
Oh, and I have bad rotator cuffs that feel fine 90% of the time, until one random day I'll wake up and be unable to move my arms.
My joints just fucking suck.
