A member asked:
Could shoulder atrophy cause neck muscle weakness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
very unusual: They are likely related to a similar cause. The potential list of causes can range from; poor postural mechanics, nerve root dysfunction from the neck region, muscular dystrophy and even some types of arthritis. It really warrants an evaluation from a specialist if you have not seen one yet.
