The problem is anytime you have blood vessels, nerves, ligaments, organs, all in one place, there's a chance that one will impinge on the other and cause problems kind of in very general terms. And at times of, let's say, rapid weight gain, rapid weight loss, there are times where things may shift.

The argument is made that if you have Ehlers-Danlos, so you do have that laxity, that things may kind of shift or move maybe more than in other people. And again, it's all kind of a perfect storm, meaning some of these things, most of these things that I just mentioned, at any given point in a person's life, they may have one of these, but your body overcompensates.

And again, you may just incidentally find out that you had one of these things. Now, in this case, it's a ligament. So part of the diaphragm, which is what helps you breathe. And it compresses what is called the celiac artery that gives blood flow, I guess, to your intestinal tract.

The idea is if that band or that ligament is kind of pushing on the artery, it would decrease blood flow to your intestines and potentially cause pain or symptoms. So the idea is if you do this, what is called a celiac plexus block, you are going to block those nerves, potentially the pain goes away. So...

it can be one way to quote unquote diagnose this is if you do this block and your pain goes away, it kind of indicates that maybe that was the cause. It's kind of, if I numb that area and it feels better, maybe that is the cause. Now what's interesting to me is, a neurosurgeon doing this was, is, I mean, I've had, I know a pain management doctor who does it, GI doctors who do it.

And I know this was like a multidisciplinary team in New York, but it sounds like this was Dr. Bolognese who did it. That was just an interesting piece because to me, this is more of like a GI diagnosis. But so this was one where he did the treatment, proved it worked, and therefore kind of said she probably had it. Interestingly, there are some studies that show 25% of people

if you did scans would have this compression with no symptoms at all. So asymptomatic people. That's interesting.
