Patient's question:
When I was a child, I had post-polio syndrome. I've always had only a slight limp when walking, with no other obvious symptoms. However, in the past two years, my lower limbs have become noticeably weak. Is this a progression of post-polio syndrome?Doctor's answer:
If this is the case, it is likely a sequela of polio. Guidance: There may be several sequelae. Currently, this progression leads to lower limb weakness. Some suggest going to the hospital for an electromyography (EMG) test. It is recommended that you undergo a systematic examination in the neurology department of the hospital, particularly focusing on neurological function and vascular status. After the cause is determined, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
