Request for Medical Advice

HELLO FROM MATTHEW JANKOWICZ

I need your help and advice. If there are any doctors out there – can you please help. The doctors here at my prison are worthless – they don't help me at all. I have a severe problem with my left knee and leg. I am having pain in my left knee 24/7. I can't run and have a real hard time walking – each step I take is with severe pain and I walk with a limp. Also, all the muscles in my left leg from my waist down (my left butt, thigh and calf muscles) are getting smaller and smaller each week – even though I exercise my left leg almost every day to get the muscles bigger and stronger. I've been a weight lifter my whole life – so I know how to handle my muscles.

Right now my left leg muscles are 50% (half) the size of my right leg muscles. Some inmates think I might have polio. One inmate said his father had a similar condition and said it was some form of bone disease (which I can't spell or pronounce). If there are any doctors or anyone else that can let me know what's wrong with me and can give me any advice how I can get better – please write me and let me know. I'll deeply appreciate it with all my heart and soul :)

My prayers are with you all. God bless you all :)
