Hello everyone it is angelface24 and l just sort of had a question. Is it common for people with cerebral palsy who are perdomitilty left handed to have pain in that wrist? Has anyone ever experienced it before?I thought it was because of the cold weather or possibly over use but I don't know. Thanks in advance for any advice you have or can give. I really appreciate it. May God bless each and everyone of you. Thank you! Angelface24

Well I just had surgery on my wrists because of deformity but I was told that's very rare even for cp so I doubt that's your problem. It could be overuse

If we do, It's really rare.
Like the cp I have, ataxia, which is a rare cp, and a few year's ago I tendonitis, And, I thought It be the early sine of aging (cause pple with cp age earlier the pple without iit)

So, I thought Tendonitis, older folks get that,
But I guess Younger pple can get it to/

It probably is from over-use

I agree it definitely sounds like it's from over-use, that and the good hand compensating for the bad, (CP side).

have you ever tried using your right hand more? it would lessen your pains and contribute to better motor function of that hand. even if you arent used to it and cant do much with the right hand, try non dangerous activities using that hand. i purchased a wii back in 2006 and bowled with my right arm constantly. use helps with your brains ability to recognize and more properly utilize that hand.

i type with 3 fingers on my right hand. i used to type with just my pointer finger. i am in my late 20s and one day i hope to play the piano (not as fast as normies) but i will get there.

i have mild cerebral palsy. on the spectrum of cerebral palsy, where would you place yourself?

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    So voc rehab finally got in touch with me...it took like six months finally.  The voc rehab person that they assigned to me is a lawyer and extremely knowledgable on disability law and he seems to know a great deal about how to get people placed in jobs and how to make their resumes pass ATS.  I was really surprised at how articulate and energetic he is.  I guess my question is how much I...
