Dr. Irving Harper answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Multiple: Nerve compression from a herniated disc in your back to rheumatological disorder where the is body is attacking the muscles may be the cause. You need a good exam and some lab work to begin evaluation process. The longer you wait, the greater the chance that some of the muscle atrophy may be permanent.
