What Can Cause Holes In The Muscles?

A friend of mine has developed a condition/disease that causes holes in her muscles. She has weakness in her legs and lower body. She began with losing her balance and falling. The disease has progressed and she was told there is nothing that can be done. What is the name of the disease? And could her doctor be incorrect?

the condition you are depicting seems like a myopathy, which are a group of disorders where there is derangement in the internal makeup of the muscle and it causes weakness, in some abnormal muscle fibers grow too much seems like swelling but they do not function well, no known cause occurs for these conditions
