Hello, I am 20years old I have been a victim of polio virus since I was 2 and it affected my left leg, my thighs are normal, but below my knee to my foot looks smaller than my right leg, the lenght of my legs are normal, my foot cannot function as well as my other foot, I can walk okay without pains, doctor is there any chance or surgery to correct this for me to be normal again?
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. There is a dictum called once a polio always a polio. But some corrective surgeries are available. You can choose one from the available options which suites your physical condition. Though they won't complete your defect but surely supports your physical ability. There are no complete cures for polio, only supportive treatment or rehabilitation can be given. Glad to answer your further concern. We wish you the best health at Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorIf you are satisfied with my answer rate me as five star and close the answer
