A friend of mine is losing muscle mass in one leg. He has pain from the hip joint to the knee. He is a plasterer. Self employed. So he is hesitant to see the dr. When I heard this I was concerned. He does not obviously favor one leg when he walks.
Has anyone heard of this and it is a concern, right?

    My husband is Physical Therapist and has seen this before, it can be caused by various things - none of them good. He should defianately see a DR and as soon as possible and make sure they look at his entire back.
