💪 Muscle Disorders

📌 What are Muscle Disorders?

Muscle disorders are conditions that affect the structure, function, or strength of the muscles in the body. They can cause muscle weakness, pain, stiffness, cramps, or even muscle wasting over time. These disorders may involve the muscles directly or the nerves that control them.

⚡ Common Types of Muscle Disorders

Muscular Dystrophies – Genetic conditions causing progressive muscle weakness and wasting
Myopathies – Diseases affecting the muscle fibers, leading to weakness and fatigue
Inflammatory Muscle Diseases – Such as polymyositis or dermatomyositis, causing muscle inflammation
Metabolic Muscle Diseases – Affect how muscle cells produce energy
Neuromuscular Junction Disorders – Affect the connection between nerves and muscles (e.g., Myasthenia Gravis)

⚠️ Symptoms of Muscle Disorders

Persistent muscle weakness
Muscle pain or cramps
Difficulty walking, lifting objects, or climbing stairs
Muscle stiffness or spasms
Fatigue after minimal activity
Muscle wasting (loss of muscle mass)

🧠 Causes and Risk Factors

Genetic inheritance (family history)
Autoimmune conditions
Infections affecting muscles
Endocrine disorders (thyroid, diabetes)
Nutritional deficiencies
Certain medications or toxins

🩺 Diagnosis

Detailed neurological and physical examination
Blood tests for muscle enzymes and antibodies
Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies
Muscle biopsy for microscopic evaluation
MRI or ultrasound of muscles

💊 Treatment and Management

Medications to reduce inflammation or slow disease progression
Physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises
Orthotic devices to support movement
Nutritional support and lifestyle modifications
In severe cases, surgical interventions may be considered
