The complaint that most likely accompanied Dani's symptom of paresthesia is:

I cannot feel anything in my legs.

Paresthesia refers to sensations of tingling, prickling, or numbness, often described as feeling "pins and needles." However, in the context of poliovirus and potential muscle weakness or paralysis, the sensation of not being able to feel anything in her legs aligns closely with the progressive effects of the virus, which can impair sensory and motor functions.
