Why did patients apply to this trial?

I live with chronic, debilitating pain and take a proactive, daily role in my health and well-being. In addition to taking several medications and having ongoing pain injections and several surgeries, I am compliant in my physical and occupational therapy sessions and at-home exercises. My motivation is the desire to feel better now and keep feeling better into the future.
PatientReceived 1 prior treatment
I have severe hypermobility and at 50 have difficulty with my joints collapsing, my c-spine and lumbar need full replacement, and both TMjoints need to be replaced as well. I've tried shots, morphine, tumeric, compression wear, nothing works, I just take aspirin, compression, and push on but I'd love to try anything new because you never know!! I was with Ringling Bros and bent myself in knots without knowing I had EDS. I'm paying for it now.
