Hi all

I live in England and I am a 36 year old male.

I have always been very fit and active however since 2013 my thigh muscles have been getting weak

This is the only problem/symptoms I have, I struggle with stairs and getting out of a chair unless I use my hands

I just had a mri scan which stated the following

Axial T1 and T2 with fat saturation of the both thighs.

Clinical Information:

Bilateral wasting and weakness of both thighs

Findings:

Similar appearances in both thighs. Generalised muscle atrophy, relatively sparing the rectus femoris, sartorius, gracilis, semimembranosus muscles and the proximal adductors. Fatty replacement of the muscles particularly more advanced on the left is seen. No active myositis is demonstrated. Both femurs marrow signal is normal, no focal bone abnormality is seen.

Conclusion:

Bilateral symmetrical atrophy of the thigh muscles. No active myositis is seen

Anyone have sane issues here. I am currently awaiting more tests over the next few weeks

Thanks for any replies

Forgot to add currently my blood CK levels are 8200

My mri brain and spine scans came back all OK.

All other testing like diabetes, hepitis, hiv all negative

I’m really worried about my upper leg thigh weakness, my waking gait is wobbly and people ask if I hurt myself.

Hi Joe,

How were the results of your test? Did you get any news?

Best,

Dani
