Will There Be Swelling In Cerebral Palsy?
Hi-- I have a question. I have Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy and have had many operations on my legs and also heal-cord lenthening. From the surgery, their is a scar on the back of my calf. One random day it got swollen, not sure why or how. Their was pain at the beginning and now their is no pain at all. It has been a few months that my ankle has been swollen and it still is. Is it common for people with Cerebral Palsy to have this issue. What is going on?

Hello,
In my opinion, the problem may arise from blood circulation in your calf. An ultrasound of your calf is necessary to evaluate correctly this possibility. Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
