Can lack of exercise or lack of walking cause rhabdomyolysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically not: Rhabdomyolyisis is caused by muscle damage, not lack of use. Lack of use will result in muscle atrophy, but not in the dangers of muscle breakdown.Risk factors include the following: alcoholism, physical injuries, drugs, especially cocaine, amphetamines, statins, heroin, or pcp, heatstroke, low phosphate, severe exertion, etc.
