Ehlers Danlos - back cracking?

[Bflywarrior]

EDS (Ehlers Danlos) question:  while sitting still, I can breathe and my back cracks.  Is this related to EDS?  I haven't been diagnosed yet.  I start the process with a geneticist on 11/24/2014.

I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in September or October of 2012;  I had an ultrasound of my left shoulder which revealed a number of issues;  one of which was a torn rotator cuff,  and some torn ligaments and muscles, etc. Then the Rheumatologist told me that I needed to go see a Ortho-paedist for treatment. He also stated that I had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and he said that I had laxity (double-jointedness) in the joints. I also get told that my skin is very soft, and I've noticed

  Hi,,,,EDS is not a rare condition and many times is linked to conditions like POTS and Chiari Malformation.....

May I ask why you feel it is EDS if not yet DX'd?

  Do you have many of the indicators for EDS?...Blue sclara, soft skin, easing bruising, slow to heal?...Hyper mobile joints?

I also have it and we do have a EDS group here on MedHelp....
