RE: Kerlan Jobe clinic- Not great news ;( JILL

[Guest guest]

Thanks Jill~~

Well, at least I liked him.

He was OK with the EDS and it didn't seem to bother him.

I don't know why it would since I have had so many other orthopedic

surgeries with good outcomes.

I do have a question that came to my mind when I was talking with him.

I wonder if surgery gets progressively difficult as we age with EDS?

I wonder because the last surgery was such a grand failure. I wonder if it

was just a fluke or it IS because I am normally loosing collagen as well as

have defective too.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Hi Debbi,

Sorry I didn't write to you sooner!

I wouldn't say that as we age, surgery becomes more difficult, I think that

with surgeries, it becomes more difficult - know what I mean? It's natural

that as we age we do not heal as well as a matter of course, but with EDS

and repeated surgeries, the problems are compounded. Soft tissue surgical

work is often met with failure in people with EDS though, because the

ligaments are just not going to respond as they would in someone who didn't

have EDS....
