The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: SARS-CoV-2 test: Negative. The action taken for adalimumab was unknown. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of psoriatic arthropathy, exposure to sars-cov-2, limb reconstructive surgery, surgery, hangover, anxiety, migraine, hypoaesthesia, road traffic accident, vaccination site discolouration. Clinical course: The events of exposed to covid, reconstructive surgery to left leg and wide range of additional corrective surgery and non-serious vaccinated for covid with only side effect of white ring on upper left arm at injection site, humira hangover, anxiety, migraines, numbness left thumb, accident/hit by car and psoriatic arthritis flares came back really bad with HUMIRA (ADALIMUMAB). On unknown dates, the patient experienced exposed to covid, wide range of additional corrective surgery, humira hangover, anxiety, migraines and psoriatic arthritis flares came back really bad. In 2002, the patient experienced accident/hit by car.

In September 2021, the patient experienced reconstructive surgery to left leg. Pfizer biontech covid-19 vaccine (TOZINAMERAN) was also considered suspect. In 2002, the patient had accident where he run over by a car and in Sep2021, he had a reconstructive or reparative surgery to left leg and mentioned a wide range of additional corrective surgeries. Due to this, he stopped Humira. He was taking Oxycodone, Celebrex anti blood clotting Injection because of the leg reconstructive surgery. He had numbness to the left thumb without Humira.
