Patient's question:
My friend's calf is now like it's about to swell, and his skin is also not very good. I don't know if this is muscle atrophy. I also don't know how to speculate about it. How can you speculate about muscle atrophy?Doctor's answer:
With muscle atrophy, such as bone and joint deformities, skin symptoms, and whether the nerves have tenderness and masses. Pay attention to whether sensory disturbances have occurred, the degree and nature of sensory disturbances, such as deep and shallow sensory disturbances or complex sensory disturbances, sensory dissociation, etc., and whether the swollen muscles have spontaneous pain. Pay attention to whether there are systemic diseases, such as tumors, diabetes, malignant inflammation, etc.
