Joint Dislocations And Pain
Posted: 02-12-07 19:32pm

I have a disease called ehlers danlos syndrome. I can roll over in the night and my shoulders can dislocate. I have a bag full of different types of braces for all of my main joints. (wrist, elbow, knee, and an ankle foot orthotic)
ehlers danlos is a type of arthritis and can cause serious pain. The pain consumes ever moment of my life but I have a sibling and daughter with totally different issues than I do.
Google ehlers danlos and find info if you have any of the following symptoms.
Pain,
dislocations,
bruising,
swelling
hypermobile joints (double jointedness)
healing issues
tmj
fibromyalgia
hearing loss
one of the major television stations in the us just did a show on eds and they showed a fellow from england with very stretchy skin. He also had this disease but it was a horrible portrayal of this disease because most of us do not have skin like his. That show was intended to help others but no one is going to think they have this disease if they don't have skin like he did. I hope that I can make up for that terrible show by helping someone else.
