Brief Answer:
Could be related to vertebral issues
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your symptoms are mostly related to nerve pinching and causing wasting of muscles. You may also get evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon for any issues in the vertebral column. So an MRI scan of brain and spine will be helpful. You may also list your medicines here for my review.
Meanwhile I can suggest some supplements and herbs that can support your central nervous system.
- Supplements include a combination of vitamin B12, folate, pyridoxine and thiamine.
- Vitamin E and levocarnitine tablets can help relieve muscle spasms.
- Botulinum injection or tetanus injection can also help relieve muscle spasms temporarily.
- Herbs that can support your muscles are ashwagandha tablets and for CNS: brahmi tablets.
- Drink lots of fluids including clean drinking water.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
