A member asked:
In eds: are cigarette-paper-scar only typical of classic type or can you also have them with hypermobility type?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not w/ hypermobility: Hypermobility or being "double-jointed" is very common in the population and is not itself associated with the cigarette-paper scars seen in EDS.However, many people with EDS have the most extreme cases of hypermobility. There are no particular mutations in collagen genes in people with common hypermobility but there are such mutations with EDS. Joint hypermobility can be a cause of joint pain.
