Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit a neurology department. How should I deal with muscle damage, muscle atrophy, and muscle weakness?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your father may have neuron damage. The causes include spinal cord pathological changes and neurodegenerative diseases, among others. It is recommended that your father go to the hospital for further examination, such as an electromyogram, to prevent upper motor neuron inflammation. Additionally, it is important to help your father regain confidence in overcoming the disease and actively cooperate with rehabilitation exercises. Medication, acupuncture, and physical therapy should be considered as secondary treatments.
