A member asked:
I was given a diagnosis of ehlers danlos syndrome? what are the treatment options for this?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Ehlers danlos is a genetic disorder of the connective tissues, where the joints can be overtly flexible, the skin stretchy & fragile & the blood vessels dilated. I am not sure of any specific treatment to actually correct the problem but rather pain medications for joint pain, reducing blood pressure if one has the vascular variety of the disorder and surgeries to correct joint problems as needed.

Not many: There are no specific treatments. Options such as pain meds or splinting are reserved for severe cases.
