Mild edema: is a lot more comon than Ehrler Danlos. Certainly Ehrler=D is associated with SAGGING skin, but not edema. Mild varicose veins, obesity constictive clothes can all cause mild edema. Edema can also occur with serious disorders of liver/lung/kidney/heart; you would mostly know if you had these.
