General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this polio that you suffered in your childhood. to be honest, there is no way you would completely regain the full functional and physical status of this leg. Polio destroys nerves and causes paralysis. Muscles grow as a result of muscle use and with polio, these muscles are not being used as should be the case resulting in progressive muscle loss. Your concerns are genuine and the need to have both legs is capital to lead a normal live. Please, come to terms with this, adapt you live to fit the current challenges.

Ii hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be. Thanks for using our services.
