Do I have Hypermobile type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or hEDS, or am I just simply hypermobile and have diffuse pain all over?

I hurt all over.  These are questions that I am often asked from patients that come to our Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome doctors at Franklin Cardiovascular Associates.

There are several types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

We will discuss the various types subsequently.

However, the most common type that we see in clinical practice is the type known as Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type III.

This is also known as the hypermobile type of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).  It has also been referred as benign joint hypermobility, or joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS).
