Question: I suffered an accident over 10 years ago and my right calf muscle has never grown back to nearly the size of my left. Is it possible to inject local steroids to increase the size of only one area of the body (or at least more so)?
Thanks in anticipation,
Christian
Answer: No, once the muscle is de-energized and atrophies there is no coming back with current technology.
