Feeling Ignored by My Doctor Regarding EDS and Joint Instability

if you're able to please try to find a new doctor:( that's definitely discriminatory

definitely find another doctor!!! idk why doctors have such a thing for wanting people to lose weight, i am underweight, i eat healthy, and i still have extremely bad pain, almost like weight isn’t the problem? i was having the same issue with walking / standing and getting a rollator has been a massive gamechanger for me.

Please find another doctor. This doctor definitely lacks the proper knowledge and is fatphobic.

You can try k tape, it's relatively cheap and less clunky. I like rock tape brand you can get it on amazon

Coming from someone with hEDS who is a bit overweight and high muscle mass, losing weight does not have to be the answer. The only thing that helped me was physical therapy and using braces during flares. I would definitely research some physical therapists near you that are familiar with EDS. Once you stabilize your joints with therapy, you can do weight training to strengthen them and decrease subluxations/dislocations.
