Is it painful as muscles atrophy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Muscle atrophy by itself is not usually painful. If the cause of atrophy is a pinched nerve, then there maybe significant pain involved. Also, of atrophy affects function of a joint, then it may cause pain when you user the joint. Also, the weak muscle will tire out sooner and get sore from overuse more quickly.
