Question
I had a post-polio syndrome sequela when I was young, and I have only had minor walking difficulties for a long time. However, in the past two years, the weakness in both lower limbs has intensified. Is this an advancement of the post-polio syndrome sequela?
Answer
If the symptoms are as described, it is highly likely a manifestation of post-polio syndrome. Recommendation: The sequelae may include various conditions, and the intensification of lower limb weakness suggests visiting a hospital for an electromyography (EMG) examination. It is particularly recommended to consult a neurologist for a comprehensive examination, especially an assessment of neurological function and vascular status, and to adopt appropriate medication treatment after determining the cause.
