Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns
As far as polio is concerned I don't think that you can get affected leg to normal. You can increase its function to a limited extent by physiotherapy but not to complete normal....
Stay happy and continue with your lifestyle... Its good to hear that you can jump and run fast...
Stay blessed
Hope your query is addressed properly
