Question

I am experiencing worsening difficulty in walking due to foot inversion resulting from post-polio syndrome. I am seeking professional advice: 1. Is surgery still a suitable option? 2. Which surgical method should be chosen?

Answer

For foot inversion caused by post-polio syndrome, surgical treatment is a viable option, but it must be performed in a Regular hospital. After the surgery, it is recommended to supplement vitamin C and increase protein intake, such as eggs, eels, blackfish, turtles, yogurt, and milk. If possible, albumin can significantly aid in wound healing. Most importantly, the patient should maintain a positive attitude, ensure adequate rest, prevent colds, and promote a quick recovery. It is suggested to seek professional treatment at a Regular hospital.
