Being Slow to Heal After an Injury
Original Post: Do PPS'ers have slower healing with injuries? I fell down my porch steps by tripping over my dog a week ago. My left leg is healing fine but my right leg, which is my weaker leg is still very tender and hurts even when nothing is touching it.
Dr. Bruno’s Response: We say polio survivors take twice as long to heal from a fall, sprain or strain. But that's conservative. It could be 2, 3, 4 or 10 times as long. That being said, using the RULE OUT RULE by having some X-rays would be a good idea. You may want to check with your doctor if this continues.
