Talk:Spastic diplegia

message: Technically the term "able-bodied" isn't the best... It should actually say something like "a person without disabilities." Something minor that I thought I should note. Lyadonna 19:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Since baclofen is derived from diazepam, would a person with counterindication (not sure if that's the right English term: a drug causes the symptoms it's supposed to prevent) to diazepam react negatively to baclofen? BPJ 11:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Brain damage "at birth" -- removing 

message: The information posted for spastic diplegia is right on target.  I can attest to this as I have this form of CP.  The problems that you have with this are most accurate posted here, but an additional problem that some may encounter is sciatic nerve problems.   My results from my hips being uneven.  Therefore, arthritis has set up in my left hip joint.  When this becomes inflammed with arthritis pain, swelling will occur in the joint area which will press on the sciatic nerve causing horrible pain.  The best way to describe this pain is "a toothache in the back".  Anyone that has had toothache pain will definitely relate to your pain.  I do have to take pain meds when I have these flare-ups, but overall I consider myself lucky.  I can get around alot better than some and will continue as long as physically able. I sympathize with anyone who may have any form of this condition.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Angie35016 (talk • contribs) 21:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason why the information is so accurate is because I, too, have this condition. I noticed that the main CP article is way too much of a smörgåsbord to allow for the kind of attention that needs to be paid to this most-common form of CP. 69.22.224.180 (talk) 16:29, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Yes, hip issues are common in spastic diplegia, and arthritis of various sorts-- arthritis and tendonitis of the knees, dislocated hip joints, inflamed tissues, twisted bones and limbs from spasticity-- are also common. The medical community loves to crow about how CP is not progressive, but it is. The effects of the condition means breakdown gets progressively worse over time. The condition itself doesn't have to waste away at the body for the body to be wasting away as a result of the condition. People should stop saying that CP "isn't progressive."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.22.224.180 (talk) 05:03, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

message: This article contains no useful references, and a scan of the literature does not substantiate the statements made in the Background section.  Much of the rest of the article simply duplicates material from the cerebral palsy article.  Consequently I am going to take the bold step of removing all the unreferenced and duplicative stuff -- meaning almost everything except the lead.  Material should not be re-added unless proper WP:MEDRS-compatible references are supplied. Looie496 (talk) 12:53, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
