21 3 yrs cp, what do i do next?

[Guest guest]

hi, i was told i had cp 3 yrs ago...i'm jared huggins.

yr 1 ....knees bothered me when i stood for long periods..found myself leaning,

off

balance....didn't really pay attention

yr 2 found myself shying away from running etc....occasional period of bad

days...my

pace slowed

last six months my knees are always bothering me...don't feel comfortable

walking

hi everyone, i've tried all kinds of leg excercises/stretches the last

month...ironically

my knees are feeling worse than ever...these last six months it's not possible

to

ignore it.

i've seen 2 doctors, 2 chiropractors....today i'm making rounds of phone

calls to

find experienced physicians.....as you know many of them don't know much about

cp.

WHAT DO I DO NEXT???

1. physical therapy- find a cp therapist? keep doing therapeutic knee exercises

on my

own? has anyone been in my shoes and turned it around? how long did it take? is

it

possible i'm making it worse cuz i don't know what's in my knee?

2. surgery-at what point do i get it? who can i trust? what do i need to see

what my

problem is? x ray? mri?..? what will those tell me?

i'll talk more with you guys later. if you've been in my shoes and can

tell me a

thing or two, please send me a message. cp has bothered me for a few years, now

i'm

at that stage where it's brought everything to a screeching halt., i have a lot

of

questions, and could use a few people i can send messages to.
