Any EDS hypermobile types that have had ablation?

Not exactly what you are asking, but I have hEDS, mid 60’s and had a pacemaker implanted recently. As I expected, my healing is delayed. So far it seems my leads are staying implanted. Not sure but it seems my pacemaker itself may have shifted a bit. My shoulder on that side subluxed during surgery and didn’t go back in place for 2 weeks. I’m having more shoulder pain from that- not sure if I’ll need treatment for it or not. My shoulder pops now with movement. I’m still on restriction from lifting that arm up for a few more days so can’t begin any home therapy yet. I did discuss my hEDS with the EP. I do have an EDS knowledgeable cardiologist here in Phoenix. Would that help you?

Your reply is very helpful. I’m trying to get my EP to acknowledge that my healing won’t go according to most ablations he performs, and what to be watchful for. I’m also concerned about my pelvis and cervical spine during the procedure. These are my two big unstable points; also a shoulder and knees. If your doctor could be open to chatting with me or communicating with my EP, I’d be relieved. Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I hope you continue to heal and that the pacemaker stays in place.
