QuestionI'm 66 years old.Since 2 years I'm experiencing biceps muscle loss.Consquently I'm losing function of both hands from elbow including fingers.Is it due to muscle loss or nerve loss or both?Is there any treatment and/or are there any medicines to treat this condition?
AnswerK S,
You need to see a neurologist. This may be from a severe problem in your neck that is encroaching your nerves or spinal cord. It's not the muscle. It's a nerve problem. A cervical spine MRI will show the anatomy of this. That would be the first step. A nerve conduction study will also prove if there is nerve damage (or muscle damage). The neurologist is the doctor you need to see.
