No, but I’m also not sure if the doctor in the lead with surgery count wins a prize. My old hand surgeon got up to five and is still the leader. Current hand surgeon is at two, and the foot surgeon has four

I’ve not need one surgery yet as regards PsA effects or indeed any side effects issues.

Posted the above too soon. Just wanting to send cyber hugs on enduring all that. It’s a heck of a lot of surgery issues.

Most of my surgeries have fallen into a similar category, releases. So while there’s a lot of surgeries, thankfully they are primarily minimal. My mom has had a lot of these surgeries as well. I think there’s some combination of genetics and autoimmune at work.

Thankfully, this latest surgery has been minimally disruptive
