What Are The Medications For Pain In Legs And Deteriorating Health Condition?
Hi, I have a brother that is sufferring. He has pain on his legs and his health has deteriorated drastically. He has seen a couple of doctors but they are not able to help him. No medication has helped him or has eased the pain for him. He has lost all of his muscle. He is actually dying slowly.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Based on the description, I suspect that your brother is suffering from Muscular dystrophy. There are numerous causes and conditions that produce this clinical picture.
Various investigations like blood parameters, CT scans, EMG, Muscle biopsy and Nerve conduction studies are needed to establish the correct diagnosis.
I suggest you to approach a Neurophysician for a detailed evaluation and further management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
