Weight loss and Muscle loss

2018-01-21 10:35:06
I was in bed rest for about 20 days with a viral infection(also reflux), and I lost about 6-8kgs. Since then my weight is stable but I've lost muscles alot. Pain/strain in hip, hamstrings, knees and ankle when I stand for a while. What should I do? Is it a major concern? How to improve my condition? - No similar medical history with me, I'm working-desk job, no similar hereditary issues. 176cms and 58kgs now(was 66 earlier). Started having more fruits,meat,eggs,milk to recover. Please help.

Consult your treating doctor for diet.. and yes due to prolonged bed rest and weakness you got this muscle loss..  it's basically atrophy.. start doing strengthening exercises for your each Lower limb muscles under supervision of a physiotherapist.. this will surely help you with in 10-15 days
