Incredible weekness in legs then in arms, now unable to maintain grip

[Rahul099]

Hi,

My Cousin is a 26 year old girl and was perfectly fine by 25 untill one day she felt weekness in her legs. Then day by day this weekness increased and now she is not even able to walk properly. Now her gripping power is also vanishing day by day. Even she cannot hold a pen these days. Consulted many doctors but no solution yet.

Please help us.

Hi Dr Noopur,

she is loosing her grip day by day and we have been to Escorts and doctors says that she might be bed ridden in next couple of years.

She doesn't have any specific symptoms so far but she is no more able to walk easily ansd fells after a few steps.

Kindly let me know the contact details so that we can communicate you and tell the complete history of the disease.

Regards,
Rahul

Hi,

How are you?
Does she have any other symptom apart from muscle weakness like loss of sensation etc?
There is a possibility that this is muscular dystrophy.
It is characterized by progressive muscle weakness of voluntary skeletal muscles. The major symptoms include waddling gait, frequent falls, and difficulty climbing up and down the stairs and enlarged muscles.
There is no specific treatment for MD. Physical therapy exercise and brace are a few options available.
It is very difficult to tell without examining the patient.
Please consult a neurologist and discuss this possibility. Keep us posted!
