Jojo Meadows suffers from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) - a rare condition which causes her bones to dislocate up to ten times a day.
The agonising condition has seen the 38-year-old to break or dislocate almost every bone in her body.
Even simple tasks such as driving, opening the door, even yawning are enough to...
force her bones to pop out of their sockets. But despite her bizarre illness, Jojo, from Hereford, Shropshire, is determined not to the condition hold her back.

Jojo said: 'My bones pop out so often, that sometimes I don't even notice it. But it's still very painful. I'd say I end up in the hospital around 100 times a year.'
The condition is a genetic one which means the collagen in Jojo's body is too weak to hold her limbs in place.
