Hello Andria
Magnesium does help to retain the muscle tissue. It also helps with the inflammation. Vitamin B-12 also help with muscle tissue. Vit C 4,000 mil. Will help with the inflammation and subsequently you will feel less pain. Hope you feel better. Hugs.
wish i had the support you got
Pinterest has lots of articles on it that explain it concisely or even Google it to find a medical doctors explanation. If it were me I would write up a concise timeline of when it started and how it manifests in you and how you continue to work with it and look for better management of the symptoms just a thought
