I am 35 and have cp walk with a stick following operations. I had a normal life
till I was about 25 then health got worse and needed operations to help me to walk
I learnt to walk again at 30 after major surgery. Since then I have accepted I need to use sticks and wheelchair to be mobile. Was doing well till I found out I now have
Arthritis as well in both knees. Pain really bad.
I need to talk to others who are similar to me
Thank you
