Muscle Weakness - The Debilitating Impact of Vasculitis
Advertisements

Muscle weakness can be a symptom of vasculitis when the blood vessels supplying muscles become inflamed, resulting in decreased blood flow and nutrient delivery. This lack of adequate blood supply can lead to muscle atrophy and weakness, impacting an individual’s ability to perform daily tasks and activities.

It is essential to report any muscle weakness or related symptoms to a healthcare provider, as this information can help them determine if vasculitis is the underlying cause. Early intervention and treatment can help alleviate muscle weakness and reduce the risk of long-term complications. (13)
