Are you asking about joint replacement after contracting GBS/CIDP ?

@patkz Just to get some new info: do you currently have GBS and/or CIDP? What do your doctors say about your having the surgery?
There is an on-going discussion about CIDP, if you want to check it out.

Can you tell me about your journey with GBS/CIDP and what worries you about the surgery?

I have had CIDP since 2014. HAd back surgery with fusion in 2018 and total shoulder replacement in 2022. No problems at all.
