What Is Myopathy?
3. Symptoms of Myopathy
You should be on the lookout for several signs and symptoms if you know you have a genetic predisposition for developing myopathy. Acute myopathy may onset in much the same fashion, so understanding these signs may help your doctor get a quicker diagnosis.
The most common sign of myopathy is a weakening of the muscles in the upper arms and/or legs. The muscles may cramp or spasm without warning. You may also feel fatigued, and the urine often appears dark yellow or brown. In the most extreme cases of myopathy, you may have temporary paralysis of certain large muscle groups.
