Patient's question:
Yesterday, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my joints. After a thorough examination, it was said that it was muscle atrophy. What causes muscle atrophy?Doctor's answer:
General muscle atrophy is usually caused by the thinning or even disappearance of muscle fibers, leading to an increase in muscle volume. It may be due to damage to a specific nerve site, resulting in muscle atrophy. In daily life, it is recommended to focus on joint massages and avoid excessive activity to prevent joint and muscle damage. Applying heat to the joints can also help alleviate pain. It is advised to seek medical attention promptly to identify the underlying cause.
