Reduced power or strength in one or more muscles is known as muscle weakness. Muscles are a bundle of fibrous, contractile tissues that possess the ability to contract to produce movement. The exchange of signals between the muscle and nervous system takes place at the neuromuscular junction. The muscles are unable to contract normally if the connection between the nervous system and muscles get injured or damaged. This, in turn, leads to muscle weakness. Homeopathic medicines for muscle weakness works very effectively to restore the strength back into the muscles.

Causes of Muscle Weakness
Muscle weakness can arise for various reasons, which include prolonged bed rest, immobilization, lack of exercise, a sedentary lifestyle (if a person doesn’t use muscles, then muscle fibers are replaced by fat and muscles can’t contract effectively), aging. Increased calcium levels in the blood, low sodium levels, pinching of nerves in the spine, and Myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that causes weakness and fatigue of the muscles.) are some other causes.
After breaking my lower fibula and ankle ligaments tears resulted by slipping on a wet floor I finally got operated last week by plating the bone and repairing ligaments. There’s been a cast on the ankle. Initially there was lot of surgery pain due to surgery, but since yesterday due to lack of any movement cast restrictions I’m having lots of pain due to muscle extreme weakness. I’ve been using CalPhos+Ruta+Symphytum (30c) for bone growth. For initial pain I used Arnica+Belladonna+Rustox (30c). Would you recommend Arsenic Album? If so what should I do replace or change to help my current condition? It’s pretty bad during night, I unwillingly end up taking Morphene to aid the situation.
