A member asked:
What make u lose your muscle in your upper shoulder and back of legs ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How lost: Is this muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, lack of conditioning or other? These are proximal muscles and we see this in inflammatory conditions related to different kinds of myositis when there is weakness. But we need to know a lot more about what the diagnosis is before we can say why the muslces are lost.
