menopause?

Hello, I’m new here. :) Hope everyone is well and having a wonderful day!

I’m a 48 year old post menopausal woman. Just wondering if menopause causes muscle atrophy? It’s the only thing I can attribute to the atrophy. Have an upcoming appt on the 24th but things seem to be moving so fast in my leg that I’m not sure what to do. It is a new patient appt so they can’t get me in any sooner unfortunately.

It’s likely you would have tests to discover the reason for Muscle Atrophy. Treatment will depend on your diagnosis and the severity of your muscle loss.

Waiting for an appointment is frustrating, it’s inevitable to speculate…but try to be patient and wait for a medical opinion.

strength training is important going into menopause, we should start it earlier but most people don’t know that we should.

It keeps our muscles from wasting away and keeps our bones strong
