My left calf atrophied

by kyle000, Jul 21, 2005 12:00AM
I hope this is the proper forum for this, as I have no clue why this is happening to me.

I noticed a a month or more ago that my left calf has gotten very noticably smaller than my right calf. This is only happening to the inner portion of the calf, not the outer (the outer is at normal mass). I don't know the medical terms for these muscles, but if you look at your calf from behind your body and flex the muscles, you will see there is a distinct different from the left side and the right side of the calf, imo two seperate muscles. Well, on my left leg it is the inner (or right) muscles that has gotten drastically smaller (where the one on my right leg is well-defined, this one has shrunken to the point where it is barely defined).

What is this, and why is this happening? (Feel free to direct me to the correct forum, as this seems to be the closest.)
