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 the neurology department. How should I deal with the muscle atrophy and weakness in my right hand?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, your sister-in-law should have suffered an injury that led to brachial plexus nerve damage. Although the pain may not be too noticeable, severe nerve damage can cause muscle atrophy and gradually lead to muscle weakness. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an electromyography (EMG) to conduct a thorough examination, which can help diagnose the condition. Subsequently, symptomatic treatment can be implemented. Additionally, early treatment for nerve damage is crucial, as prolonged delay can make it difficult to achieve a full recovery.
