I am glad this came up on this list! I am 36 (I will be 37 July fifth).
Over the last month, I have been experiencing physical pain (especially in
my hips and lower back). I went for my yearly Camp Physical , I brought
this up to my regular family physician and he said, "That's what you get for
being in a wheelchair most of the time" or something to that effect . as I
write this, I am wondering if this is a side effect of having CP.?
