What can someone do for my atrophied right thigh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ALot.1stSeekTheCause: What can someone do or what can YOU do?First off all, do you know why it is atrophied?There could be a lot of possible causes so get that straightened out first. If due to simple disuse(pain? prior injury? )get to a gym & do simple leg extensions and leg curls(to start) and progress and see if you can gain muscle mass and strength.If not,you'll need a trainer or physical therapist to get you there
