Ehlers-Danlos syndro: If over-the-counter pain relievers — such as Ibuprofen (advil, Motrin ib, others) and Naproxen (aleve) — aren't enough, your doctor may prescribe stronger medications for your joint or muscle pain.Have your doc help with keeping your blood pressure low.Exercises to strengthen the muscles around a joint can help stabilize the joint.There are specific braces avail to help prevent joint dislocations.
