Muscular dystrophy
Found a dent on my leg, The doctor told me its muscle atrophy. I developed some muscle issues in the past 2 years like back pain and stomach muscle pain, and have fear that i am developing muscular dystrophy. Is there any test that can rule out muscular dystrophy? What do you think about this atrophy ? Is it related to that ? Thanks
