A member asked:
I have a pinched nerve that has lead to muscle weakness/atrophy. will i regain my strength and muscle mass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weakness & Atrophy: Significant weakness may be a sign of permanent nerve injury. Continued nerve pain with weakness would indicate an "active" nerve compression and a clear indication for surgery. Strength can improve but muscle atrophy may not change if the process is chronic, greater than 6 months.
