What Are The Symptoms Of Polio- 649 Questions Answered

I had Polio but recovered over time. I do not depend on crutches or wheelchair to walk but limp slightly. Have been experiencing pain in my right leg (calf muscles and knee joints with cramps) for last few months. Can hardly walk small distances without fatigue. Is this post polio syndrome? What do I do?
