I have had to have several chest x-rays due to a “nodule” on my thymus gland. In the end nothing has come of them. I had 3 ct scans of the chest,a MRI and a pet scan—I finally had enough , told them they were going to end up creating cancer from all the dyes, contrasts and radiation if they continued. I dont know why you would get muscle atrophy after you start regaining use of your muscles???? I thought the muscle atrophy occured when it wasnt getting the message from the nerve to function, therefore it atrophied due to not being used and would be weak. My inner calves are atrophied and weak.
Yours is the opposite of mine, where you got hit hard and fast, mine has been slow and progressive. I dont think there is any “normal” with this disease. Seems every case is different.
