A member asked:
I have: hypermobility, joint pain, multiple joint injuries, and i have had 7 surgeries which have healed very poorly. could this be ehlers- danlos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like it: Yes, you most likely have Ehler's Danlos syndrome. Did none of your surgeons suggest this? Unfortunately, it's a genetic condition, so there's not much that can be done, therapeutically.
