There is no cure but there are treatments so you should get tested. You should see a rheumatologist to get evaluated so that it can be diagnosed, if present. There may be another diagnosis to be made if you don’t have EDS. So, get an evaluation. Good luck!

If you do indeed have well-established connective tissue disease, especially Ehlers-Danlos, you need to be followed by an experienced specialist. This condition can be systemic, causing internal organ derangements and peripheral neuropathy. A rheumatologist or a physiatrist would be valuable consultants. There is no clear-cut cure, but complications can be successfully managed.
