Has both cerebral palsy and acid reflux

Posted By Richcp (Ashford, Kent, United Kingdom) on 05/18/2012

Hi to all. I am 41 with spastic cerebral palsy. I have been struggling with shoulder and back pain due to my spasticity and tenseness in my muscles. I have also been getting a lot of tightness in my stomach. It feels like Acid Reflux but not sure. Does anyone know of any remedies that would help my condition. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I know it sounds simple, but eat bananas. 1-2 a day if it's that bad. My pain has gotten worse over the years, and one time at work it hurt so bad I could hardly walk. My friend/co-worker sat me down, went and bought me some bananas and had me eat them. I didn't think it would do anything. Since medicines don't, why would a fruit? But, in about an hour to an hour and a half, I was perfectly fine!!! Now, I'm married, and my husband tries to make sure we always have bananas around. Whenever I don't eat any for awhile, I start hurting. It basically reminds me "Oh, yeah. You need bananas." I hope this helps!! Good luck!!!
