I've tried the compression and it didn't seem to make a difference on its own. I used an ice pack a few times but I don't have a freezer so I have to use one-time use ice packs and I don't have many of them so I use them sparingly.
I saw my hip OS yesterday and he said I'm doing great for being two months post-op! He cleared me to go to the gym and swim. He said to be careful with yoga because of my shoulders. I asked him about EDS and he said I probably do have it. He offered to send me to a geneticist but we decided to wait until next month (when I see him again) to see what to do. He's going to do some more research on EDS in the meantime.
Other than that, I'm just having fun at college. Not much to update. I'm in a lot of pain which is my normal (sadly)... I'm basically living off of ibuprofen.
