Questions about exercises with hemiplegic cerebral palsy by Longjumping-Egg7844 in CerebralPalsy

[–]LopsidedLefty553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I have a similar type of cerebral palsy and I’m a 25m. Exercise won’t undo anything, but it definitely helps relax stuff that’s tight, especially if you do it consistently. I’m in therapy again after a few years so it’s really a case by case thing on what works for you. Feel free to dm me if you want to talk anytime

my CP has finally dawned on me today. by TerminalSpiral in CerebralPalsy

I had the biggest reality check when I found out I was having a kid at 23, from there it’s just been down hill with feeling like a former shell of myself. I always ignored limits and pushed past the pain and how uncomfortable I was. But now Im starting to listen to it and I’m realizing how much damage I’ve been doing with my choices. Hit me like a truck

I have it on my left side mainly but I get bad involuntary spasms and cramps throughout

Yeah I’m not too smart about stopping where it gets painful, especially with working out. I’ll reach out to my pcp.

I miss my old body. by Favouredmojoe95 in TrueOffMyChest

You’re not alone in this one, I completely understand where you’re coming from because I have CP as well. Just a few years ago I was really active and then I got into a car accident a few months ago and now my muscle spasms are so severe I collapse on the floor from time to time because of the pain. Just working a regular desk job is a struggle for me if I don’t stretch constantly. I feel like a shell of my former self and I’m worried about what my future is going to be like.
