ehlers danlos

Posted by ell735 @ell735, Jul 28 12:40pm

I looked up to the sky for about 5 minutes and I believe I stretched my ligaments and tendons in my neck.Having bad pain for 2 weeks now. Can ligaments and tendons go back after they are stretched? does anyone know of doctors who specialize in Ehlers Danlos in the San Francisco bay area of california? thanks Ellen

Hi @ell735

I too have EDS and have found that a good EDS knowledgeable physical therapist is a must have. I have issues with my neck as well and have found relief from neck strengthening exercises from my PT. I'm not from SF or California, but good luck.

Hi Ellen
Have you tried wearing a neck collar for awhile daily to keep your neck straight? It will keep you from looking too far upward and maybe help your muscles go back to normal.
Just a thought.
