Knee pain and CP: Pain is the most common symptom for patients with cerebral palsy. The hip, knee, back and neck are the most common locations. Conservative treatment methods such as anti-inflammatory drugs, local ice or moist heat packs, stretching exercises, and braces are the first step in treatment. Take care.
