Hi...may I ask Y do u think u may have atrophy?

R u right or left handed?....have u been to a dr?....if not, please see one, we r not drs for the most part here, and even they can not tell u  if u have atrophy from looking at ur pics.

Have u measured ur wrists to see what kind of difference u have?....do u not use that hand at all?

I had atrophy in my right leg due to using a brace...the muscles were not being used.....na the one leg was apparently smaller.....but, I had a reason for it.....do u have numbness or other issues going on other than it looks smaller to u?

Also, one side will be different than the other as we r asymetrical.
