#Muscular Dystrophy
Today my topic is on #Muscular Dystrophy #Muscles weakness.Most of the peoples are worrying about this I will try to give solutions. Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited diseases that damage and weaken your muscles over time. This damage and weakness is due to the lack of a protein called dystrophin, which is necessary for normal muscle function. The absence of this protein can cause problems with walking, swallowing, and muscle coordination. Muscular dystrophy can occur at any age, but most diagnoses occur in childhood. Young boys are more likely to have this disease than girls. The prognosis for muscular dystrophy depends on the type and the severity of symptoms. However, most individuals with muscular dystrophy do lose the ability to walk and eventually require a wheelchair. There’s no known cure for muscular dystrophy, but certain treatments may help. There are more than 30 different types of muscular dystrophy, which vary in symptoms and severity. There are nine different categories used for diagnosis. Duchenne muscular dystrophy This type of muscular dystrophy is the most common among children. The majority of individuals affected are boys. It’s rare for girls to develop it. The symptoms include: • trouble walking • loss of reflexes • difficulty standing up • poor posture • bone thinning • scoliosis, which is an abnormal curvature of your spine • mild intellectual impairment • breathing difficulties • swallowing problems • lung and heart weakness People with Duchenne muscular dystrophy typically require a wheelchair before their teenage years. The life expectancy for those with this disease is late teens or 20s. Homeopathic remedies • Arnica : for relief from muscle pain or spasm. • Calcarea carbonica : for cramps of the lower extremities, particularly in those who are overweight and easily chilled. • Magnesia phos : for muscle pain and spasm with cramps and severe, shooting pain.

Kyphoscoliosis describes an abnormal curvature of the spine in both a coronal and sagittal plane. It is a combination of kyphosis and scoliosis. This musculoskeletal disorder often leads to other issues in patients, such as under-ventilation of lungs, pulmonary hypertension, difficulty in performing day-to-day activities, psychological issues emanating from anxiety about acceptance among peers, especially in young patients. It can also be seen in syringomyelia, Friedreich's ataxia, spina bifida and Duchenne muscular dystrophy due to asymmetric weakening of the paraspinal muscles.
