What are the early symptoms of muscular atrophy?

There are no obvious symptoms in the early stages of muscular atrophy and it is easy to be ignored by patients. In fact, it is easy to find out through careful observation that atrophy of the shoulder girdle muscles will manifest itself in symptoms such as weak neck muscles. Patients can eat more papaya, kelp, mushrooms, etc., which will have a good effect.

1. Symptoms

1. Shoulder girdle muscle atrophy: It is the symptom and clinical manifestation of progressive proximal muscular atrophy of the limbs. Progressive proximal muscular atrophy of the limbs is often myogenic atrophy, which is obvious in the proximal limbs and trunk muscles, and often manifests as atrophy and weakness of the shoulder girdle muscles and pelvic girdle muscles. For example, due to weakness of the neck muscles, some patients need to use their hands to support themselves in order to lift their heads. Atrophy of the scapular muscles results in a winged scapula.

2. Myogenic facial muscle atrophy: It is caused by diseases of the muscles themselves and may also include some other factors. For example, patients with shoulder girdle or facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy are confirmed to have spinal muscular atrophy through morphological examination. On the other hand, when any part of the lower motor neuron is damaged, the acetylcholine released from its terminals is reduced, the nutritional effect of the sympathetic nerves is weakened, and muscle atrophy occurs.

3. Atrophy of the interosseous muscles and thenar muscles: It usually starts with weakness and gradual atrophy of the small muscles in the hand, which can affect one side or both sides, or start from one side and then spread to the other side. The palm becomes flat due to atrophy of the thenar and hypothenar muscles, and the hand becomes claw-shaped due to atrophy of the interosseous muscles. Muscle atrophy spreads upward, gradually affecting the forearm, upper arm and shoulder girdle. Fasciculations are common and may be confined to certain muscle groups or widespread and are easily induced by slapping the hands. In a few cases, muscular atrophy and weakness may start from the tibialis anterior and peroneus muscles of the lower limbs or from the extensor muscles of the neck. In some cases, it may also start from the proximal muscles of the upper and lower limbs.

Second, the foods that prevent muscle atrophy are as follows:

1. Papaya: Rich in papain, it can decompose waste and accumulated fat alkaline foods in the body and remove acidic components;

2. Kelp: It is rich in kelp protein, which can accelerate the discharge of radioactive substances that invade the body;

3. Garlic: The special ingredients in it can reduce the lead concentration in the body;

4. Mushrooms: can clean the blood, excrete toxic substances, and regular consumption can purify the internal environment;

5. Carrots: Contains a lot of pectin, which can combine with heavy metal mercury to generate new substances that are excreted from the body;

6. Mung beans: They can help expel various toxins that invade the body, including various heavy metals and other harmful substances, and promote normal metabolism of the human body.
