Prolonged Adrenal Stress Disorder can result in an acute condition called Ligament Stress Syndrome. In Ligament Stress Syndrome, the ligaments become weakened to the point that they can over-stretch, tear and sprain very easily causing:

  • Sudden low back pain and spasm, often incapacitating
  • Sharp pain in the neck or base of skull
  • Sharp pain in any joint, which occurs suddenly without apparent trauma.
