myotonic symptom

Myotonia symptoms include muscle stiffness and tightness, slow movement and incoordination, pain and discomfort, etc.

1. Muscle stiffness and tightness The

most intuitive symptom of myotonia is that muscles are difficult to relax quickly after contraction, manifested as persistent stiffness and tightness. This state may occur in the whole body or specific muscle groups, seriously affecting the patient's mobility and flexibility.

2. Slow movement and incoordination

Due to muscle stiffness, patients often appear slow and uncoordinated in performing daily movements. Simple movements such as walking, turning around or raising their hands may become difficult, increasing the risk of falls and injuries.

3. Pain and discomfort

Long-term myotonia may lead to muscle fatigue, soreness and even spasms, causing great discomfort to patients. This pain may worsen with the development of the disease, affecting the patient's sleep quality and mental state.
