What is myopathy?
Myopathy is a medical term that refers to a group of diseases that affect the muscle fibers and cause muscle weakness. This weakness may be seen as an inability to move a muscle or to move it only weakly, fatigue with exercise, and sometimes pain or cramping. There are many different causes of myopathy, including genetic, metabolic, infectious, and inflammatory conditions, as well as certain drugs and toxic substances. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.
