Diffuse Muscle Weakness

You've reached the end of this guide. We hope this guide has been useful to you!

It can take a bit of time to determine why a person has diffuse muscle weakness. Figuring out a specific cause can lead to specific medications or other treatments that help. However, in some cases, no cause is ever found. Even so, physical therapy and a conditioning program may be able to restore some of the lost strength.

Some of the more common causes of weakness have been covered here. Fortunately, many of these are highly treatable. The cause of your diffuse weakness may not have been covered here, so be sure to review your situation with your doctor.

Whatever the explanation, we hope your weakness resolves completely and that your health remains excellent!
