Hello @uzi187, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @malebreastcancer47, @sandy8043 and others. It's good to hear you are already speaking with specialists. I'm tagging @jenniferhunter who may have some experience or thoughts on what can help with muscle loss related to the neck.

You mentioned you have nerve damage in your neck. Is the nerve damage from a neck injury?

@johnbishop A mix of injuries over the years, plus using a vibrating massager (which damages nerves), plus bad posture.

Rebuilding muscle is very hard / sometimes impossible when the nerve that tells the body that there is a shoulder in need of nutrients isn't doing that. Therefore, protein powders and creatine (which I take anyway) can only do so much. I'm also taking Magnesium and Vitamin B12 for nerve health.

Mostly I am hoping to hear tips and tricks from those who managed to regain strength in muscles affected by traumatized nerves (whether by deformation, demyelination, etc).
