A member asked:

Can multiple sclerosis be contracted through surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NEVER: Ms is unlikely to ever be associated with any surgical procedure, as it is an autoimmune disorder associated with genetic and environmental influences. There remains some question regarding trauma effect on ms in rare cases, but even here, the data is unscientific, and inconclusive.
