Was excited to check this out when I saw the notification. I had two knee surgeries pre-diagnosis and an ankle surgery post-diagnosis. Even though my knee surgeries were technically different, they were both arthroscopies addressing similar issues and my symptoms were the *exact same*. It was like Deja vu. So I’d say it was reoperation in a way! My knee has been good since though. However, enter my ankles about 5 years later. Right was the worst and now I might need surgery on the left as well. But the process was definitely different for me knowing I have hEDS with the right, and I’m approaching the left in a totally different way because the longer things linger while giving conservative stuff time the worse it actually is for me. And my current doc is on the sameee page. I don’t really want surgery but if we gotta do it we gotta do it. All this to say, this was a great read, and I’m glad this study is out there!
