What Is EDS Disease?
2. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Hypermobile)
Hypermobile EDS syndrome is the most common variety of the condition. It tends to affect joints more so than the skin and can result in a number of unwelcome symptoms. Its main characteristics are joints that are even more flexible than in the classical variety. The patient’s joints can also be very loose, and they can dislocate far more easily than is usual.
Patients are also likely to experience joint pain as well as a clicking sensation in their joints. Incontinence can also be a problem, and organ prolapse is also a possibility. An increased heart rate and dizziness are other potential problems, while the patient can also experience heartburn, constipation, and digestive issues.
