Is Pain Normal For An Adult Hemiplegic?
My daughter was born hemiplegic. She had physiotherapy before going to school which helped her a lot. She also had various braces to help her as she grew. She functions quite normally, and has learned to accomplish many skills with one hand. She is now 33 years old and experiencing a lot of pain in her hips and legs. Her GP says this is normal for an adult with cerebral palsy. I question whether her GP is correct. Is pain normal for an adult hemiplegic? Is there anything that can help her, ie exercise or physiotherapy?

This can be reduced by tab baclofen and physiotherapy.
If not responding to conservative treatment ,then surgical proce
dures to reduce spasticity can be tried.
