Hi @brian1958
It looks as though perhaps you had some trouble posting. I've merged your threads together, so that all of the information is in one place.
Am I right in thinking that you're asking whether anyone else with ataxic CP gets hip pain after walking?0 -

Hi @brian1958
Joint pain, hip, knee, and ankle are common with all types of CP. We don't move in the most efficient ways and this causes additional wear and tear on these joints. It could also be down to something called Post Impairment Syndrome. This describes additional conditions that we develop over time, like arthritis.
For my knees, I usually use ice packs but that is slightly difficult for hip pain. I would suggest making an appointment with your G.P. and requesting a scan and w-ray on your hips.0 -

@brian1958 have you recently had an X-ray with the arthritis diagnosis, or did you receive this news previously?
I've had painful inflammation in my left hand and knee (right sided hemiplegia) and was diagnosed with wear and tear arthritis earlier this year. I'm recognising with with help from the Scope CP team and Richard Luke, this isn't an unusual situation for people with CP.
I'm using ice packs and having to rest more when I have a flare up.
Hope you're o today.
