In this episode of Beyond The Pain , Leigh Brandon speaks with Daniel C. Rodgers about living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) — a connective tissue disorder that can lead to hypermobility, repeated injuries, chronic pain, exhaustion, and years of confusion before diagnosis . Daniel shares how the early signs were missed, how serious knee dislocations and surgeries changed the course of his life, and what happened when he finally discovered that EDS was behind so many of his symptoms.
