Afraid of muscle dystrophy
Hi sir, Before 2 years I had an accident. For next 5 months I didn't have any symptoms but later I started to feel my left side of body is thinning. Like I can feel as if my skin is thinning in left side. I can feel bones on left ribcage than right. I feel left neck thinner than right,feel like swallowing from left.and feel like left cheek is smaller than right. I got brain and spine mri, both are normal with mild scolosis. But every time I wake up, I feel as if my left body is lighter and right body is heavier. Feel left thigh is smaller than right I am afraid if it's musle dystrophy ans as it is progressive it will become more and more thin. There are few points where if I touch on my left rib back and side, muscle feels squishy and tender. Please help , I am afraid if I'd be disabled. Currently strength wise left is fine but I feel one side is thicker and other side thin so I can feel the ribs in back side.

This needs to be examined and measured to note any measurable changes in girth of limbs etc and also to monitor the progress if any.
Next Steps
get measured by consulting a physician
