Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. What are the good methods for treating muscle atrophy?Doctor's answer:
You are experiencing muscle atrophy due to the fracture. It is common to develop this symptom after a fracture and wearing a cast. If the fracture fully heals, gradual recovery can be achieved through strengthening exercises and proper nutrition. In daily life, you can gently massage your left calf, engage in appropriate exercise, and use your left foot more frequently. Soaking your feet in warm water at night can also be beneficial. As long as it does not interfere with movement or walking, full recovery can generally be achieved gradually.
