Ally- people already responded to your hand pics in another thread. I believe most of them said it does not look like atrophy and if there is no accompanying weakness of significance, then not to worry. Are you looking for a different response?

Try to relax and bring these concerns to your doctor. He or she is the most qualified to determine whether or not it is atrophy and what the next step should be.

Good luck-

Uh, no, that doesn't look like atrophy. Keep in mind that our bodies aren't perfectly symmetrical, if you look really hard for differences between one side or the other, you'll find them. Here's the best advice I can give you.

1) Explain your concerns to a doctor.

2) Let them evaluate you, and then listen to what they have to say.

3) Move on with life.
 
This is what atrophy looks like.
