I was hospitalized when I was 5 years of age, about 1954, following my polio vaccine, and remember I couldn’t walk or feel my legs for a while in the hospital. My parents are both deceased and there are no medical records from then. But at age 60 I began the path of severe osteoporosis, have had 16 breaks. Dentures, lost all my teeth right before the poor bone density test. I am currently receiving Prolia shots. I am in southwestern Pa. with no advice or care from PCP or part h o surgeons to follow up on me. I just came upon your site and wealth of knowledge and information! I am amazed. Could a polio vaccine and possi bmp my maternal grandmother with osteo have led to my circumstance now? I’ve always wondered. 2 sisters and 1 brothers but no osteoporosis with them. Thank-you.

I’m in my 50’s and have had left leg muscles wasted from a childhood and polio affected.

I need to do exercise and would want to know more about specifics of how and would appreciate some guidance in this regard, equally there isn’t much support group here and especially people who are affected to share past experience etc.
