Hey i'm 21, i suffer from left sided hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy and have done since birth i always was be able to walk far and it didn't bother me but this last month i had pains in both hips and the doctor said it was muscle spasms and put me on 8 painkillers a day but they haven't helped i can't walk as far as i could without feeling tired and it hurting a lot i recently got my DLA statement back from tribunal which was refused and they put i should of been prescribed a wheelchair or walking aid from an early age i have a splint but it doesn't help it makes me walk worse and this pain i'm suffering from as gotten worse i'm walking on my tip toes to try and reduce pain but it doesn't help as it's move into my legs and i'm in agony i'm back to the doctors on thursday to see what needs doing but what i'm really worried about is going to the shopping centre with my boyfriend as it's a big place i know they have a shopmobility there, Has anyone used it? Was it useful? My boyfriend thinks i should hire a wheelchair from there for the day but i don't know i feel like i'm giving up
