Talk:Hereditary multiple exostoses

note
Hereditary Multiple Exostoses has a number of synonyms for this disorder, they include Multiple Osteochondroma, Multiple osteochondromatosis, Exostoses Multiple Cartilaginous, Diaphyseal Aclases, Familial Exostoses, Deforming Chondrodysplasia Hereditary. The pages under these terms should be merged I am just not sure how this is done. This information was authored by Sarah Ziegler and I have the copyrights to this information. I posted this information. If you have any question please email sarahziegler@mheresearchfoundation.org
 * All the repeated information from the above entries can be found under hereditary multiple exostoses. I have deleted the content and inserted redirects for Multiple Osteochondroma,  Multiple osteochondromatosis, and Exostoses Multiple Cartilaginous. I could not find entries for Diaphyseal Aclases, Familial Exostoses, and Deforming Chondrodysplasia Hereditary - if some appear let me know and I will create redirects to this page as well.

 * I have given this page a little shake up and hopefully improved it a little along the way - the information contained in the page is not exhaustive but I think it provides a good overview with links to further reading for those who are interested Able editor 21:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Pain
I added a pain subsection since as a HME patient I know that is very real and overlooked whereas connections to autism are conjectural. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A467:CCD6:1:504A:F9DF:4324:935F (talk) 11:53, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Note
Forgive me as I'm still getting used to how to participate in these things - maybe I'm typing this up in the wrong area? What I want to suggest is that the line which reads - A person with HME is also more likely to develop a rare form of bone cancer called chondrosarcoma as an adult, be edited to say the same thing but with less emphasis on 'more likely'. I say this because it reads at present as though it's more likely that someone with the disorder is more likely to get bone cancer than NOT - if you see what I mean? I stress the importance of phrasing it such as I have four children whio all suffer from the abnormality. When reading it I wouldn't want them thinking they were 'more likely' to get cancer than not get it which is one way the current form of the sentence can be interpreted.

Perfect - thank you. Higher risk is far more suitable to 'more likely' - Much appreciated. OzScot (talk) 03:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Patient input
As someone who has MHE, I wanted to upload the pictures of my mother's skeleton to graphically show the bone growth after surgery. I also have a list of abstracts, but I am not sure what is appropriate to put in Wikipedia. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 18:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
