ABSTRACT

A patient affected with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome associated with cryoglobulinemia, suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain, with partial responseto opioids is reported. Both diseases may present with chronic pain and thus their association could lead to confusion in the etiologic diagnosis of painand to more difficulties in treatment options.
