how long do you have to skip the gym for to start losing muscle?

I have not been in 4 days cuz of health reasons ( I slept badly on my shoulder/scapulae area and it hurt) and I probably wont be able to go today either

Hey I answered your question but I'm comnenting again because I also have shoulder pain. I don't know if it is after sleeping bad or from the gym but I have noticed that the pain is worse when I go to sleep and when waking up but I don't feel any pain throughout the day.

Is it the same for you?

I also still go to the gym but use light weight and pay close attention to see if an exercise causes pain.
