Hi I'm kris pretty new to this I have cp and was looking for some help regarding knee pain and what I could do. Been to the doctor so many times getting to the point pain killers are not working I know they are not too good for you anyway be nice to hear if anyone else goes through the pain and what they do about it (I would not wish pain on anyone its horrible) anyway any fellow people that go through it. Best wishes Kris x:-)

Hi @kris34
Welcome to Scope's community! It's great to have you here. Just to get you started we have a How To Guide here, you can see all the latest posts here, jump in and get involved and don't worry we are a friendly bunch!
I can completely relate to the knee pain issue! Painkillers don't work well for me either. I use ice packs and lots of hot baths in an effort to ease the pain.
If you need anything, just let us know.

Hello @kris34 and welcome to the community. Very sorry to hear about your pain. You might find some useful contacts in our 'Dealing with chronic pain' thread. Perhaps you could take a look and see if there are conversations you could join?
Warmest best wishes to you,

Hi @kris34, I'm so sorry to hear about your pain. I just wanted to introduce you to @julzmama who is also relatively new to the community and has discussed quite a similar experience.0

Hi Kris, I read a lot of books, watch films and rest with my legs up most of the time. If I am in distress I go to bed with my legs up on two pillows because sometimes that is the only way I can cope. Music can help, relaxation, kindness to the self. I have chronic pain in both knees. Limit physical activity to only what is necessary0
