The disease progresses from the periphery toward the center. Myopathy is a disease of muscle[1] in which the muscle fibers do not function properly. This results in muscular weakness. "Myopathy" simply means muscle disease (Greek myo- "muscle" patheia < -pathy "suffering"). This meaning implies that the primary defect is within the muscle, as opposed to the nerves ("neuropathies" or "neurogenic" disorders) or elsewhere (e.g. The brain). Muscle cramps, stiffness, and spasm can also be associated with myopathy. And yes it possible to have these two things at one time.
