      You can have EDS with or without full dislocations/subluxations. I think it’s worth pursuing because it could be EDS or another connective tissue disorder. This can guide treatment and help elucidate what genetics could be at play for you/your family. It also helps with data collection on a global epidemiological level — the more patients with official diagnoses on patient registries, the more accurate the impact EDS is having in an epidemiological sense

      It's worth getting it checked out. You can see if you meet the criteria as well, you can usually find it online
