Forest Gump (the movie)as a child had leg problems...

[Drizzy]

Remember the movie forest gump? Does anyone know what disease or problem he had with his legs? If anyone can find this out please let me know for a report I'm doing on a disease called Rickets disease. I wonder if Forest Gump had an early case of Rickets. Thanks!

This web site seems to imply it was polio.

his spine was as crooked as a politician. 😛

There was nothing wrong with him. The Dr was a quack.

I was amazed that they were able to cure him and he went on to that amazing journey around the moon and then a few years after that his plane crashed on that deserted island in the south pacific. 😛

Oh, and how about the time he dressed up like a woman so he and his roommate could live in that inexpensive womens apartment building?

 

[ggavinmoss]

I think his problem was those metal things stuck to his legs. He could run fine when they fell off...

From thewritestuff.com :

"Several major developments in the movie plot are purely Hollywood inventions, such as Gump having polio as a child and then 'miraculously' running faster and faster until his leg-
braces fall off."

Its a shame he missed out on part of his childhood though because he became a grownup overnight and remained that way for a while.

actually.. he died of aids in the middle. 😛 after he coached a womens baseball team and fell in love with some random woman on top of the empire state building on valentines day, but before he went to the moon, became an animated cowboy and got marooned with a volleyball on some deserted island.
