Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with a neurology department. How should I deal with muscle atrophy in the palm of my hand?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, muscle atrophy in the area is commonly caused by conditions such as nerve compression or neuritis, which can be treated through physical therapy methods like local massage and acupuncture. Additionally, oral intake of B vitamins and neurotrophic drugs should be considered. If symptoms do not stabilize, it is recommended to undergo detailed examinations such as cervical magnetic resonance imaging to clarify whether the nerve is damaged. Based on the examination results, targeted treatment should be implemented. Pay attention to maintaining a regular lifestyle, follow a light diet, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
