Why do i get constantly cold feet with post polio syndrome?

Cold Feet: Poliomyelitis causes neurological injury that can lead to a condition known as autonomic dysfunction in some people. This condition can result in "instability" of the blood vessels which can precipitate constriction and cooling as blood flow diminishes. Additionally, direct injury to the nerves in the periphery can affect the cold/heat sensors and send erroneous information to the brain.

Neuropathy: The effects polio can have long term damage to the nerves. The nerves control sensation, muscle/motor, as well as the autonomic nervous system. Skin temperature is part of this. There may be a link to it because of a post-polio syndrome. Talk to you neurologist and you may want to see a podiatrist to have the foot examined as well.

Do you have: Full function in the feet or are they paralyzed? If the latter, the blood is flowing properly due to the lack of muscle contraction if the muscle.
