A member asked:
What is the solution to muscular weakness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: This is a hard question to answer. There are literally hundreds of causes why someone would have weakness in their muscles. This ranges from problems with the muscles themselves to problems with the nerves that are connected to the muscles and problems with the brain and spinal cord. Conditions that cause one to be ill for long periods of time can cause muscle weakness. Lack of exercise too.
