A member asked:
Both thigh muscles seem to be wasting despite exercise and healthy eating. no numbness but get a bit of tingling in legs which improve when magnesium taken. what conditions cause this muscle wasting and weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cushings syndrome, severe hypothyroidism, nerve injury from weight causing spinal problems. For every pound most healthy ideal body size You are forcing you body to carry the same as 4 sticks of butter around. So if your are overweight by 50 lbs you are carrying around 200 sticks for butter and that can damage spine/vertabra.
