Patient's question:
Can post-polio syndrome be treated? I am 56 years old and was treated in 1982. In the past two years, I have had difficulty walking. My left leg is thin and weak, making it hard for me to use it. When walking, I have to hold my left leg with my left hand, which is very tiring. Can I still have surgery, acupuncture, or physical therapy?Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: Hello, based on your description, if you were normal when you were young, this is generally not considered a sequelae.Advice: It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination and then undergo further tests to receive more targeted treatment. So far, there is no effective treatment for this condition. This condition cannot be treated through surgery. If there is any deformity, it can be corrected surgically, but it cannot be completely cured.
