With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, especially the hypermobility type, your toes, as with most other joints, can be extremely flexible. They can usually be bent back to the top of the foot and are usually very easily dislocated. This is due to the laxity of the ligaments. This can be very painful.

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) refer to a group of inherited disorders that affect collagen structure and function
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome was discovered by Edvard L. Ehlers, a Danish dermatologist who first discovered the disease in 1901. Henri-Alexandre Danlos, a French dermatologist published his own description of the disease in 1908.
Ehlers-Danlos type 3 is the hypermobility form of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Affects 1 in 10,000 to 15,000 and is caused by an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive mechanism. Extreme flexibility is the hallmark of this type. It is one of the most surviable types of EDS.
Today, according to the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation, one in 5,000 to one in 10,000 people are affected by some form of EDS

Hello, I see you are asking "What is ehlers danlos syndrome?" Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders that affect your connective tissues — primarily your skin, joints and blood vessel walls. Connective tissue is a complex mixture of proteins and other substances that provide strength and elasticity to the underlying structures in your body.

No. But ehlers-danlos does.
According to the Mayo Clinic there are a number of things that can be considered symptoms of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Some of these symptoms are stretchy and fragile skin, overly flexible joints, and fatty lumps at pressure points.

Ehlers=Danlos syndrome is a defect in collagen. The most obvious manifestations i hyperextensible joints ("double jointedness"). It can also cause joint pain and affect other systems, especially the vascular system (blood vessels).
