    Hi John 

    I don't know the answer as every person with CP​ is different . It depends how CP has affected you but it would be worth to consult with your GP and medical consultants. Some surgeries/ treatments and therapies have helped people in the past .

    Conductive edcucation might be also useful for the adults with CP. 

    Thanks

    I would speak to your  doctor as I 
    was walking 
    think you would need medical advise my dr did say if i didn't have the operation I wouldn't be walking
