A member asked:
My doctor thinks i may have proximal muscle wasting in my leg. what and why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask doctor why?: Muscle wasting is seen with neurological problems, lack of exercise, aging, and when it is symptomatic, evaluation should be completed. When your doctor suggested that to you, the next question you should ask, "why doctor?".
