Sorry.Please restate: I don't understand "painless" what? All muscles should NORMALLY be painless. Are you saying you've had weight loss only & are concerned this is a symptom for MND? Or that you have painless loss of muscle mass WITHOUT weakness & weight loss? Noticeable weakness may not occur right away depending on the individual. Loss of muscle mass with unintentional weight loss should be seen by a doctor now.
