Joint Hypermobility Pain: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
May 26, 2012 - 8pm Eastern
Harold Houdini, the famous escape artist probably had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Many with extreme joint flexibility can voluntarily dislocate and relocate their joints due to EDS.
Unfortunately, 90% of those with EDS suffer from chronic pain for over 6 months, and pain is a cardinal feature of this syndrome. Extremely mobile joints, tissue fragility, and tendon and ligament injury can be caused by this genetic disorder of collagen formation.
We’re joined by Maggie Buckley, who shares her experience with joint hypermobility, accompanying pain, and methods of coping with EDS. Ehlers-Danlos expert, Dr. Clair Francomano tells us how best to manage this condition and what treatments may someday be a reality.
