Hello,
EDS is a difficult condition to cure. Unfortunately, the joints and tendons become week and symptoms will reappear. Drugs do not have a major role.
Surgery will be a better option. Consult a pediatric orthopedic and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
