Most of the time HME is Hereditary so one of the parents are affected. They have bony lumps around their body. It is autosomal dominant but it varies from very mild to severe. It all starts when the child is growing up. some small bony tumors can be seen especially around the knee, shoulder, pelvic. Before that pain is the only sign. Almost everybody with HME is diagnosed from 3 to 12.

Many such as my mother and grandmother had a couple of bumps and hardly noticed, and so it is with most folk If your long bones have many bumps that limit your movement than the situation is obvious even if the name of it takes a bit of work.
If on the other hand, you have it called out by genetic testing or something like that then your case is mild and should not deeply affect your life, but keep an eye out on any children s they might be affected a lot more.
