Symptom #10: Post-Polio Syndrome
Regardless of whether they have contracted symptomatic or asymptomatic polio, the majority of patients who live through the disease will experience what’s known as post-polio syndrome. This condition tends to occur years after the patient has beaten polio and many patients don’t experience it for decades.
Some of the symptoms associated with post-polio syndrome include pain in the joints and muscles, muscle atrophy, exhaustion, and problems sleeping, breathing, or eating.
