Question 3

what is the most common muscle disorder?

Accepted Answer

Sprains: Sprains/strains is the most common muscle problem.  If you are looking specifically for a disease, then muscular dystrophy would be my top choice.  Depending on how you want to classify fibromyalgia, it could rank as the top disease.

Question 4

could crohn's disease affect muscle growth?

Accepted Answer

Indirectly: Crohn's does not directly affect the muscles. However patients with active crohn's disease do not absorb nutrients in their intestine well. This can lead to weight loss, malnutrition, and eventual loss of lean muscle mass.

Question 5

how can i gain muscle with crohn's disease?

Accepted Answer

Remission: The most important thing for improving your muscle mass is to get your disease in to remission, which will allow you to absorb more key nutrients. However some people will be advised to take supplemental calories in the form of liquid shakes. These usually just "stave off" more weight loss but potentially could help with increasing lean muscle. Talk to your gastroenterologist.

Question 8

my muscle is pulled away from my verterbrea which collapsed 2 disc is this the cause of scheuemann's disease i got hurt at work and they said all that happened wasnt work related due to this scheuemanns disease

Accepted Answer

Scheuremann's : Scheuremann's disease is the formation of wedge shaped spinal vertebrae. This is caused by uneven vertebral body growth during adolescence. The front of the vertebral body grows slower then the back forming a wedge shape resulting in a hunchback or kyphosis. The cause is unknown. It does not progress after spine growth is complete. It can cause severe back pain, rarely organ and spinal cord problems.

Work injuries do not cause schuermann's disease, but it may have caused your problem.  Sometimes injuries can cause multiple compression fractures that can be misdiagnosed as schuermann's disease.  Work injury can also damage other spine structures like muscles, ligaments and joints causing pain unrelated to the compressed vertebrae (schuermann's disease).  Independent on the the presence or absence of schuermann's disease the most important question is did you have back pain prior to the injury.  If you did not then something was injured during the injury.

You may benefit from a second opinion.  Good luck!

Question 9

is als a disease of the muscles or nerves?

Accepted Answer

The nerves: Als or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( or "lou gehrig's disease")  is a disease in which the motor nerves in the brain, or in the spinal cord degenerate and die, leaving the muscles weakened. This is progressive and results in paralysis and even death over time. The rate of progression varies with the kind of ALS and the patient.  Although the disease is not curable patients benefit from support.
