I am wondering if anyone has been to New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery for their PMR. They are ranked number 3 in the country for Rheumatology. If no one has been there I would appreciate hearing from anyone who went to the Mayo Clinic for PMR and what their experience was like. Thanks.

Hi Roger @rogernj67, I was diagnosed with PMR at Mayo Clinic in Rochester but I have never heard of a special surgery for PMR? The way the rheumatologist described what PMR is to me in layman's terms was - it's like arthritis all over the body. Do you have any more details on the surgery?
