My left arm seems to have become slightly smaller than right, in the region belo!


Question:

My left arm seems to have become slightly smaller than right, in the region below the elbow. Possible reasons?

I have been having some pain in the left hand...doctors say it is muscle/tendon related due to possible overuse, strain etc. The pain decreases with rest and hence I have not been using my left hand much for the last 3 months.

I am right-handed.


Answers:

Overusing your right hand could bulk it up more than the left, but also there are nerve injuries that can occur that can cause muscle atrophy (wasting), so I would get it checked out if it starts becoming noticeably smaller...
