The muscle atrophy and muscle weakness you described suggest the use of traditional Chinese medicine to replenish qi and nourish blood, as well as to nourish the kidneys, relax tendons, and activate meridians. Recommended treatments include Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Reinforcing the Middle and Invigorating Qi Decoction), Xiao Huo Luo Wan (Minor Active Collateral Pills), Zhu Gu Jian Shen Wan (Bone Strengthening and Kidney Nourishing Pills), and supplementation with calcium and other trace elements and vitamins. Additionally, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, and cupping should be combined with rehabilitation exercises.
