Should I seek diagnosis?

Similar Experiences?

I (f,42) am thinking I might I have eds, and I'm wondering if I should seek diagnosis.

In the past two years I've had multiple MRI scans and seen multiple orthopedic surgeons for back, knee and hip issues. Most recent is a labrum tear, I'm waiting for an appointment.

All these have been treated separately, and I get told each time to lose weight (which is not something I wish to pursue) but am otherwise pretty much dismissed. I'm thinking all those issues are related, but what would an EDS diagnosis (if that's even the case, I could be wrong) achieve?

Has anyone been in a similar situation, and if so, did investigating eds actually help?
