Suggest Treatment For Hand Muscle Atrophy

Muscle atrophy seems likely; need more information, speak to your doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. It appears as though, from your description (although cannot be sure without a physical examination) that there could be some muscle atrophy in the region described by you.
I have a few more questions to better understand the possible cause, they are:
+Do you have any trembling or tremors in your hand?
+Difficulty in holding things with that hand?
+Can you button or unbutton your shirt? Or you feel some amount of difficulty or resistance?
Muscle atrophy is a common side effect of various medications, and so I would like you to run through your medications with your prescribing doctor to make sure muscle atrophy is not one of the possible side effects; and if it is then please discuss substituting those medications that can possibly cause muscle atrophy with safer ones.
I hope you find my response helpful. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.

please advise
as to your earlier questions... i have no problems with tremors or buttoning my shirt.
Then there is nothing much to worry about, but better get checked still

Hello ma'am and welcome.
If the sink is not permanent and you are not experiencing any debilitation with your fine movements, there should be nothing to worry about. However, I would still be much more comfortable if you can visit your physician about the same and also ask for a neurologist opinion, just to make sure we rule my worries out completely and so you can continue to live a comfortable and healthy life.
Please also do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
