Do you often struggle with opening jars and cans? It might be an early sign of muscle problems that may come with growing age. As per researchers of Birmingham University, UK, the most common muscle disorders in elderly adults include myopathy (muscle weakness), myositis (inflammation of specific muscles), muscular atrophy (muscle wasting), polymyalgia rheumatica (muscle stiffness around shoulder and hips), fibromyalgia (muscle tenderness in older women). The usual symptoms may range from general pain and discomfort, you can find it challenging to move different body parts. A wide range of musculoskeletal disorders may also affect the elderly. Hernia is a common disorder among the elderly in which protrusion of an internal organ occurs due to weakness of abdominal muscles.
