I was run over by a car when I was 16 months old causing a spinal injury, which left me partially paralyzed in my legs. I didn't let that stop me...I still ran, hiked and kept up with my siblings and friends most of my life. But in my 40's I began to lose strength in my legs along with a myriad of problems. Now, in my 50's, I'm forced to use a walker. Since doctors were unable to link this condition with my original injury they have "pegged" me with Tropical Spastic Paraparesis, which is a drug and sexually transmitted virus. Even though, I did do drugs and have sex during the 70's I resent this evaluation. I've heard of Post Polio Syndrome where patients have exibited the same symtoms as mine in their later years. Could I possibly have Post Traumatic Injury Syndrome? Anyone? Thanks for your input. Healthandpeace
