Is there any connection between torn ligaments and scleroderma ?

I have had two torn ligaments in two months (both legs have had a turn with one ankle and one knee). First one resulted in having to cancel a trip to France and the current one I am treating with TLC as I am trying to continue with my planned trip to USA on 15 September to see my sister who is seriously ill. Any info appreciated. Thanks for reading this.

No, I don't think so, but it might be worth checking that you don't have joint hyper flexibility which can make it easy for your joints to overextend.

Not what you're looking for?
