A member asked:
I'm a 41 years old and i had a polio when i was 8 but the problem i have now is i'm putting weight so do you have any advice for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Question unclear: If you are interested in losing weight suggest you begin cutting back on your intake and exercising more. If you are concerned with post-polio syndrome a rehab physician may be of benefit. Good luck.
