A member asked:
Hello. please tell me, would it be rare for a 38 year old woman to get muscular dystrophy with no family history whatsoever? is md hereditary and would it be rare for me to have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to examine: Muscular dystrophy can be acquired. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!
