Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, you had polio, long back, and now there is deformity.
If the deformity is minimal, you can try for correction. or a orthopedic shoe can help, if suitable.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need to have an M.R.I. and other tests for diagnosis.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
