Asked By:cjandjoe in Greenville, TX

My concern is am I putting my health at risk by having surgery? Sometimes it can flare up psoriasis. I was on methotrexate for 5 years and have been off of it for 1 year. I have had a little bit of a flare about 2 weeks now. I got a sunburn and flared it up. I am 51 years old take really good care of myself. I am just worried that this surgery could stir up havoc in my body. I really want to have this surgery. Just wanted your opinion. Thank you for your time.
