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.
