I have the same issue and one see any improvements or had any medical help. My right pec continues to detoriate
I have the same issue but on the left chest muscle. I have a pinched nerve in the spine, with pain traveling down my left arm and into my chest. The left chest muscles are noticeably smaller than my right side.
Hello. After years of searching for this diagnosis, as I suffer from the same exact thing, a diagnosis has been reached. The mayo clinic among other doctors have confirmed that what I have is faciosculpulohmeral muscular dystrophy (chromosome 4) this typically starts in the pec and progresses to the shoulder, back and face. There is no definite pattern or time frame. It can progress very slowly and sometimes not even effect your normal way of life. I hope this is helpful to someone and the conclusion was reached with a blood test. You are not alone
I am suffering from the same exact thing same pectoral muscle (right side) has anyone gotten any answers? Doctors have eliminated a biopsy as a helpful test seeing as the remaining muscle is completely healthy.
I got the same problem.
Worst still, I suffered from poliomyelitis in infancy and my right chest muscle is only piece of strong muscle I can rely on. I start to loss my right pic minor 5 years ago and now, I am on wheelchair most of the time.
Doctor said that I have Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS), which may happened at the age of 55.
Have anybody find any answer?
I also have the same issue...
Did you find an answer?
I have the same issue, did you ever find any answers?
Hey Atd417, You are not alone. I have this same issue and no idea as to why it has happened. Mine started on the same side as yours (the right pec) It use to be only on the right side and after seeing the doc he felt it was injury related because it was only on one side but now it's started on the left side too. I go to the gym regularly like you and surprisingly I the past I've pushed my chest workouts too. I'd like to know if you have found any answers on this issue.
Hi there.
Your situation is indeed unique, and I believe this has something to do with the nerve supplying that particular muscle group.
Muscles do atrophy due to lack of sensory stimulation from the nerves. Deficient nerve activity can stem from nerve compression, primary demyelinating disorders, or nutritional deficiencies (such as the B vitamins).
It is important to also work up for problems with the nerves, possibly through an MRI of the spine. A biopsy of the muscle and nerve in the chest area should also provide some answers.
Regards.
