Help! I'm Hypermobile7 Jun 2023

Why Are Hypermobile People in Pain?

Join Alex in today's episode as she explains why people with hypermobility experience pain in simple, easy-to-understand terms. By understanding the problem (which Alex believes centres around scar tissue and dysregulated inflammation), we can start to find effective treatment strategies. Because every good treatment plan begins with a "Why?"

The study that I cite looking at rates of MCAS in hEDS patients can be accessed here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajmg.a.61459
