Suggest Treatment For Stiffness In Muscle After Suffering From TIA
In 2009, I suffered a TIA. Now 5 years later, I am experiencing severe stiffness and muscle pain. Prior to the TIA, I had none of this. What can I do to for the stiffness naturally without the use of medications. Also, is it possible that my my muscles atrophied due to the TIA?

initial cause for the stiffness is neurological, however the residual effects of it can be due the soft tissue contracture. You will need a trained Physio help to deal with the same. Muscles are likely to go into atrophy if they are not given the adequate exercise
