this is a terrible connective tissue disorder. One of the best supplements for this condition is vitamin C.. 1,000 milligrams taken three times daily can help the tissues.

If There is chronic joint pain, talk to your doctor about ways to help manage the pain. This might include use of pain relievers or physical therapy or both. A physical therapist can help you develop an exercise program to strengthen your muscles, which in turn will help stabilize your joints. In general, people with EDS need to avoid activities that put pressure on locked joints, such as weightlifting. Your therapist or doctor can prescribe appropriate exercises for you.

swimming is very beneficial for this syndrome. No harsh physical activities should be attempted.

Reports indicate that vitamin C may help reduce the severity of kyphoscoliosis symptoms, this hasn't been established. Talk to your doctor if you're thinking about taking a vitamin C supplement.

I don't know much about this syndrome but I found a useful site. DailyStrength offers support groups and discussion boards on a wide variety of medical issues and life challenges. I found a community for those dealing with, or having loved ones with Ehlers-Danlos. I hope this helps:

http://dailystrength.org/support/Skin_Hair/Ehlers-Danlos_Syndrome/

You can easily join the community and reach out to those who have experience dealing with the pain. Best wishes to your father.

If your father is not taking any meds for pain he should talk to his doctor. I have a related condition and take Ultram, Zanaflex, and for breakthrough pain I take Dilaudid.

He should not be allowed to suffer. If his doctor will not help him find another one.
