Struggling with frequent injuries, unexplained fatigue, or a history of dislocated joints? If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I keep spraining my ankles?” it might be due to the laxity of your ligaments, making them unable to support your body’s movements effectively. This condition can lead to microtears, resulting in discomfort and pain during everyday activities.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is an inheritable condition that affects connective tissues in the body, including skin, joints, and blood vessel walls. There are 13 different types of EDS, each with unique features and diagnostic criteria. Symptoms can impact various body systems, such as the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, nervous, digestive, and sensory systems. Common symptoms include joint hypermobility, easy bruising, skin fragility, chronic pain, fatigue, gastrointestinal issues, and mental health challenges. Diagnosis involves meeting specific clinical criteria and may include genetic testing. Management often requires a multidisciplinary approach, including physical therapy, to address symptoms and improve the quality of life for individuals with EDS.
