Hi Linda,
The reason why Ibuprofen won't work is because it is an anti-inflammatory
drug. It works on the pain nerves. C.P, is a neurological condition, not an
inflamed joint or muscle..

Hello to everyone,
I have been reading but not writing. I am the grandmother of a great
person with CP. I have wondered if ibuprofen would help stiffness.
When I have over done it in the garden and know I'll be stiff the
next morning I use this method to self medicate. And usually I can
then move the next day without stiffness. Does this work at all for
CP? I've often thought of trying it with Case but have never heard of
it so thought maybe there is a reason why it won't work.
All the best to everyone,
Linda Walker
