Neuromuscular disorders
affect your "voluntary" muscles, or the muscles that you can
control, such as in your arms and legs. When a patient has a
neuromuscular disorder, neurons begin to die off and cannot send
messages to the brain to control the muscles. This can lead to
twitching, cramps, aches, pains and joint and movement
difficulties.
Some examples of
neuromuscular disorders include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,
commonly referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease, multiple
sclerosis and muscular dystrophy.
