See a neurologist: Consult a neurologist about the best approach to confirm a diagnosis of symptoms and your suspicion of type 2 fiber muscle wasting. In addition to microscopy, there may be other tests that may help delineate the specific cause(s). Additional information may assist in developing a prognosis and guide treatment.
