skeletal myopathy

Skeletal myopathy is a condition where the muscles attached to bones become weak or damaged. This can lead to difficulty moving, decreased strength, and muscle wasting. It can result from various causes such as diseases, medications, or other health problems affecting muscle tissue. Symptoms often include muscle weakness, fatigue, and sometimes swelling or cramps. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes. Early diagnosis and management are important to improve muscle function and quality of life.
