Ehlers-Danlos is: A group of inherited disorders that affect your connective tissues primarily your skin, joints and blood vessel walls. People who have ehlers-danlos syndrome usually have overly flexible joints and stretchy, fragile skin. Physical therapy, pain control, and sometimes joint replacement are some of the treatments needed to treat the syndrome since there is no cure.

See details: Eds is an inherited defect in the cross-linking of collagen molecules that leads to very flexible joints and skin. There is no treatment other than that which is directed at the symptoms.
