Tired/Painful Legs
Original Post: I was lucky and did not suffer paralysis in legs. But now age 73, my legs hurt. My thigh muscles are sore and becoming painful.
Dr. Bruno’s Response: Please remember that your whole body has been affected by the poliovirus. Your muscles have “over-performed” all these years and now the polio-damaged neurons that turn on those muscles are probably “overtired.”
BUT you always must first rule out other causes for any symptoms. PPS is ALWAYS a diagnosis of exclusion.
