A member asked:
4 years ago, i broke my scaphoid. i still have intense occasional pain. is this normal? i have ehlers danlos so could that be causing it?

Very likely: Trauma may lead to chronic pain even after the fracture is healed especially in those with congenital condition like you have. Physical therapy and occasional anti-inflammatory medications may help.
