Ehlers danlos: Yes, but it is a syndrome that has a collection of different disorders. It is usually associated with hypermobile joints so to have ehlers danlos without that clinical finding is less likely.

Possibly: With age hypermobility decreases, so someone previously diagnosed with hypermobility may fall below a diagnostic threshold later in life. However, in order to be diagnosed with 3 of the 4 major types of EDS, hypermobility or generalized joint laxity is a requirement under the major criteria. Vascular EDS is the only one that holds hypermobility as a minor criteria not sufficient for diagnosis.
