Patient's question:
Around the age of 1, I suffered from post-polio syndrome, which led to muscle atrophy. Now I'm almost 40 years old and can walk, but my affected leg is about 3 centimeters shorter than the normal leg, which affects its appearance. Can this be fixed? Moreover, after giving birth to a child, I feel that it has become even worse over time!Doctor's answer:
You, good. According to your symptom description, it is currently in the post-injury period of the disease, with limited muscle and nerve development, making treatment difficult. Surgery can be used to correct it. Additionally, acupuncture and physical therapy must be used after surgery to stimulate muscle and nerve development, which may be more effective. Go to a specialized hospital for surgical correction, acupuncture and physical therapy, and enhanced rehabilitation training. It is better to go to a Class III-A hospital.
